Lakhimpur Kheri. Farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh are laying more emphasis on animal husbandry to double their income. More profit can be earned through animal husbandry at less cost. In view of the increasing demand for milk in the markets, youth in rural areas are getting attracted towards dairy farming. In such a situation, grants are also being given to the farmers so that farmers can easily earn lakhs of rupees by doing animal husbandry through grants.

Animals start falling ill during winter and rainy season, due to which if they are not treated properly, they may even die. In such a situation, you will also suffer financial loss and the biggest problem in cows and buffaloes is foot and mouth.

Contact doctor immediately
Due to foot-and-mouth disease in animals, problems like high fever, ulcers on mouth and tongue, excessive drooling occur, due to which animals are unable to eat fodder. This is such a disease that if it is not taken care of in time, it can affect other animals also. If you see such a problem in your animal, you can immediately contact your nearest doctor.

These are the symptoms
Foot-and-mouth disease occurs in the feet of cows, buffaloes and horses. There are wounds between the hooves, limping, and difficulty in eating and drinking, due to which the animal becomes lethargic. Symptoms start appearing within 3 to 7 days of the virus entering the body. The risk of disease increases due to cattle standing in water. In animals, high fever, mouth sores, not eating fodder and rashes on the skin can be symptoms of foot and mouth.
