Eight Buffaloes Found Dead Under Mysterious Circumstances

Gonikoppal, Aug. 28: In connection with the incident in which about 8 buffaloes of farmers died due to a mysterious disease in Kalathmadu Hosur village near Gonikoppa in the last 20 days, a skilled doctor from Shivamogga arrived and conducted a post-mortem examination of the animals and said that they will collect 4 types of special organs, blood sample, heart part, and intestinal parts and send them for further examination.

This includes 2 buffaloes that have given birth to calves and 2 pregnant buffaloes.

The buffaloes and calves belonging to progressive farmers of the village, Kolleera Umesh, Gaya Kaaverappa, Gopi Chinnappa, Gautham, and Mridhal Subramani, had died. There were a total of 27 buffaloes and this series of deaths occurred in 20 days. Although the Animal Husbandry Department also conducted a post-mortem examination of the buffaloes, accurate information about the death was not available.

Deputy Director of the District Animal Husbandry Department Dr. Lingaraj Doddamani, Dr. Naveen of the Ammatthi Veterinary Department, Dr. Varun, Dr. Rakesh, Dr. Naveen Ponnampet Veterinary Officer Dr. Girish, Dr. N.B. Sridhar Bhat of the Shivamogga Veterinary College and others visited the spot and inspected it.

Dr. Sumanth, a scientist from the Regional Diagnostic Laboratory in Mysore, had earlier collected buffalo dung and etc. and taken it to Mysore for further research. Now, various parts of the buffalo have been collected again and sent for research.

Speaking about this, doctor and researcher Dr. Sridhar Bhat said that this is one of the mysterious diseases affecting buffaloes in the Malnad region and research is needed.

There is no problem with the cattle. This is the first of the diseases found in buffaloes. There is bleeding in the heart, blood stains in the intestines. There are ulcers in the stomach, he said.

This is not a throat disease that occurs in camels. It could be due to a new species of microorganism. Therefore, the organs will be taken to laboratories in Bangalore and Shivamogga, he said.

If such symptoms are found, the camels should be tied up at home. He said that nutritious food such as groundnut paste should be given at the rate of one kg per day and anemia has been observed, due to which ticks are crawling on the body.
