disease.

5.  For safe & efficient food production.
 For control of zoonotic diseases such as Rabies & Brucellosis.
 For control of emerging and exotic diseases of animals and people.
 Reduction of the need for antibiotics.
 Food safety vaccines.

6. 1. Vaccinate only healthy cattles.
2. Deworm and Detick before vaccination.

10.  Project Name
Control of Contagious Diseases of Animals in Sri Lanka
 Objectives
1. To control major economically important livestock diseases such as Haemorrhagic Septicaemia ,
Foot and Mouth Disease and Black Quarter by regular preventive vaccination with the long term
objective of eradicating these disease probably on a zonal basis and thereby improve the
productivity of livestock and income of farmers. Disease investigation and surveillance systems
are improved.
2. To strengthen and improve animal health information network in order
to facilitate decision making on animal health related issues.
3. Support specially the selected farmer and his neighbour farmers to
improve the health Management Practices in order to increase the farm
productivity.

11.  Activities
1.Procurement of vaccine and other inputs.
2.Field Immunization Programme.
3.Disease investigation and Diagnostic Service.
4.Brucellosis / salmonellosis surveillance and control programme.
5.Declaration of ‘disease free status’.
6.Strengthening of disease information system.

12.  Location of the project : All Island
 Output
1. Increase in vaccination coverage against major livestock diseases.
2. Reduction in occurrence of notifiable diseases.
3. Reduction in prevalence rate of brucellosis.
4. Development of an improved disease monitoring and information system.
5. Reduce disease incidences of local farms.
6. Optimization of production parameters and improvement of productivity of farm.
7. Establishment and strengthening of disease investigation and surveillance net work.

13.  Before making a vaccination schedule we have to consider about cattle vital statistics.
