Rajendra Prasad, Director of Administration and Development for the Department of Animal Husbandry, conducted an unannounced inspection of various cow shelters in Balrampur district on Tuesday. During the visit, he thoroughly reviewed the arrangements for cow conservation and the health of the cattle.

Vaccination Status and Shelter Conditions

At a temporary cow shelter located in Bansdila, 124 cattle were found to be under protection. The vaccination work against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and Lumpy Skin Disease had been successfully completed for these animals. During the inspection, it was noted that sufficient quantities of hay, feed, and green fodder were available at the shelter.

The center also recorded the presence of five lactating cows and 12 pregnant female cattle. The Director emphasized the importance of ensuring better maintenance and the availability of nutritious feed for the cattle.

Ensuring Green Fodder Availability and Nutrition

Director Rajendra Prasad stressed the significance of maintaining an uninterrupted supply of green fodder throughout the year at the cow shelters. He instructed the village head representatives to arrange for fodder availability by entering into contracts with local farmers.

Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of prioritizing the provision of nutritious feed for the cattle and conducting regular health check-ups.

Mobile Veterinary Units Ordered to Be Active in Rural Areas

Following verification of veterinary camps organized in Baldev Nagar and Jabdaha, the Director issued directives to improve the functioning of the mobile veterinary units. He clarified that medical and vaccination camps should be organized regularly, both in the morning and evening, according to the fixed roster.

The primary objective of this initiative is to provide essential veterinary services to livestock farmers in remote rural areas directly in their villages, thereby eliminating the need for them to travel to cities for treatment.

Inspection Team and Findings

During this inspection, Additional Director Arvind Kumar, Chief Veterinary Officer, and other departmental officials and staff were present. The Director expressed satisfaction with the improved maintenance of records and deemed the overall arrangements to be satisfactory.
