🫁 VERMINOUS PNEUMONIA IN LIVESTOCK

A hidden but serious respiratory disease affecting cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs — caused by parasitic lungworms.
✔ Persistent coughing
✔ Breathing difficulty
✔ Weight loss
✔ Reduced productivity

Early diagnosis through the Baermann test and timely treatment with effective anthelmintics can save your herd and prevent economic loss.

Prevention is key:
🔹 Strategic deworming
🔹 Rotational grazing
🔹 Proper pasture management

Healthy lungs. Healthy livestock. Better productivity.

Anthrax vaccines are highly effective, generally inexpensive, and essential for controlling Bacillus anthracis in livestock, particularly in endemic areas. The standard veterinary vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine based on the Sterne-strain (34F2), which is non-encapsulated. It is primarily administered to ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats) and horses to prevent the rapid, fatal septicemic disease.

Roundworms (nematodes) are common, economically significant gastrointestinal parasites (e.g., Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Cooperia) that infect the stomach and intestines, causing scouring, weight loss, anemia, and reduced production, primarily in young animals. Infection occurs via ingestion of larvae on pasture, with the life cycle completed in 2–4 weeks.

Epizootic lymphangitis is a chronic, contagious fungal disease of equids (horses, mules, donkeys) caused by Histoplasma capsulatum var. farciminosum, primarily affecting skin, lymphatics, and eyes. Endemic to Africa, Asia, and parts of Europe, it causes severe, ulcerating dermatitis and cord-like swelling of lymphatic vessels, leading to chronic debility.

The selection of domestic animals for slaughter is guided by strict veterinary, hygiene, and welfare standards designed to ensure food safety, quality, and humane treatment. Preconditions involve rigorous ante-mortem inspection, specific physiological requirements, and proper handling before the slaughtering process.

Bacterial diseases are a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and economic loss in livestock, companion animals, and wildlife. These diseases can range from localized skin infections to fatal systemic infections (septicemia) and are often characterized by high fever, depression, anorexia, and, in many cases, sudden death.

A sudden, persistently bad, or foul-smelling odor in faeces often indicates an underlying, non-productive fermentation process in the gastrointestinal tract, often due to undigested nutrients, infection, or severe malabsorption.

Coccidiosis is a common, often severe enteric disease in animals caused by protozoan parasites (mainly Eimeria and Isospora spp.) that destroy the intestinal lining. It primarily affects young, stressed, or immunocompromised livestock (cattle, sheep, poultry) and pets, causing diarrhea (often bloody), dehydration, weight loss, and potential death.
