Technically it is Acute (achanak se hone wala) Contagious (chune se failne wala) & Febrile (tez bukhar)disease of goat which can wipe out whole flock within 2 weeks. It is characterized by Stomatitis (muh main challey), Enteritis (aanto main zakhm) & Pneumonia.
Who is Responsible?
It is Virus, it means no drug can act against it you can perform supportive therapy only.(Bad news)
In which Animals it occur?
Sheep & Goats : Goats are more susceptible.
How it occur?
Through direct contact with diseased animals. It spread through infected animal’s discharges & secretions. Infected animal share same trough & drinkers with healthy animals.

It clearly means that one should isolate the infected animals and better to sell them for slaughter but it is not a wise decision for those animals which have high genetic worth and you want keep them in elite breeding herd. Another moment when you want to keep animal;
When it is heavy weight buck & you are rearing it for festival season, like more than 60kg animal.
Now when u confirm that disease has been broken out in your farm than tight your belt and don’t waste time in blaming care takers and partners just do following things.
| Use | Water Sanitizer |
| Dilution and Application | For general sanitization or prevention: Superox can be used as a Water Sanitizer @ 5- 10 ml per 100 liter of water. In acute cases: Use 15-20 ml. of Superox in 100 Ltr. of water. In severe cases Use 40- 50 ml. of Superox per 100 Ltr. of water can be used for 2 -3 days. |
But why PPR is so fatal in goats ?
As you know there is always a villain in a good happy and successful story
This virus is the main villain of the goat farming business story
And this virus support other opportunistic bacteria and fungus to grow and aggravate the situation (put petrol in fire)
But there is 1 good news
this virus doesn’t change its face, so easy to recognize by immune system & because of this recovered animals developed very strong immunity and VACCINATION is very successful.
1 more thing this vaccine cost just Rs 1/- per animal/ 4 year
This vaccine is available in IVRI in 100 & 200 dose packs. So whenever you are going to start any farm or by some other person nearby your farm then go to IVRI and purchase the VACCINE (please maintain the cold chain; bring vaccine in ICE) & vaccinate each and every animal on very 1st day.
*Don’t keep the left vaccine for further use even discard it by burying in the soil at 4 feet
