More than 400 sheep infected with the round worm illness died in Mulabagilu taluk in one week.
Veterinarians say that the contamination is being caused by the sheep drinking polluted water from lakes and lakes which topped off amid abundant rains in November 2017. The larvae that have entered the sheep’s stomachs in this way have brought forth inside their digestive organs, at long last choking them to death. The sheep rearers are stunned by the extent of their loss.
There are 22 veterinary clinics in the urban and country regions of the taluk. The sheeps are being sterilized there. But the experts are having an extreme time checking the spread of the disease. At the point when the shepherds take the sheep out for grazing in the meadows, the animals again drink the dirtied lake waters and get contaminated once more.
