Lumpy skin disease is an infectious, eruptive, occasionally fatal disease of cattle characterized by nodules on the skin and other parts of the body. Secondary bacterial infection often aggravates the condition. Traditionally, lumpy skin disease is found in southern and eastern Africa, but in the 1970s it extended northwest through the continent into subSaharan west Africa. Since 2000, it has spread to several countries of the Middle East and in 2013 extended west into Turkey and several countries in the Balkans. More recently, outbreaks of lumpy skin disease were reported for the first time in Georgia, Russia, Bangladesh, and the People's Republic of China. The recent geographic spread of lumpy skin disease has caused international concern. The disease has not been recorded in the Western hemisphere or in Australia or New Zealand.
Contagious ecthyma results from infection by the orf virus, a member of the genus Parapoxvirus in the family Poxviridae. The orf virus remains viable on the wool and hides for approximately one month after the lesions have healed. It is very resistant to inactivation in the environment and has been recovered from dried crusts after 12 years.

3. Disposal of carcasses
Hygienic disposal of dead/fallen animals: social as well as legal obligation
Most important responsibilities of veterinarians: domain of environmental hygiene.
Unsafe disposal of carcasses: serious threat to the health of animals & human communities.
The tissues of dead animals: most conducive conditions for the breeding of flies & insects.
Favors the growth of maggots within a day or two
Many other welfare agencies along with environmental & health organization: safe & quick
management/disposal of fallen/dead animals
Some of the agencies relate to transport, tourism, natural resources, zoos & parks, & defense
(air) services
4. Regulations framed by Governmental/local authorities from time to time
In western countries, the implementation of the regulations is rather strict
For ex: In Scotland the service provided free of charge, In fact, the service paid for the
carcasses of dead, injured/old animals
A number of approaches: TO ensure efficient, environmentally safe & bio-secure
disposal of carcasses & fallen animals
Methods of disposal:
1. Traditional method: burial/burning, commonly used in developing countries
2. New technology: In developed countries, economic disposal of carcasses
Disposal of carcasses
5. Preparation of carcass for disposal
1. Cover the dead/ fallen body with
• A cloth or insect repellent
• Application of kerosene oil
• Prevent spread of disease through flies/insects
2. Covering of all natural orifices:
• Plugged with cotton plugs soaked with a suitable disinfectant
• Commonly used disinfectant: Carbolic acid or formalin
3. The skin of the carcasses should be slashed with a sharp knife
Except for cases of anthrax, the so that it cannot be used by unscrupulous traders
4. Use of personnel protective measures (by wearing secure clothing, boots, gloves, goggles
& face masks: to prevent the handlers
6. 5. Transport of dead animals:
• Desirable to use closed vehicle
• Animal should not be dragged under open condition
• Imp. part of sanitary practice
6. Site of disposal:
Should be away from:
• Source of public water supply (pond, lake, well and river)
• From animal/human habitation
• Telephone or electric cables lines
Fencing of site:
• To prevent access of wild animals & stray dogs to the site
Preparation of carcass for disposal
7. Methods of disposal
Following methods are used for the disposal of carcasses:
1. Cremation
2. Burial
3. Flamegun
4. Incineration
5. Rendering
6. Composting
7. Fermentation
8. Cremation
• Space required:
Large animals: 1.7 - 2.5 m2space/head
Small animals: 1.25 m2 space/head
• Various ways of cremation:
Depends on the number of animals:
Routine cremation: 1 or 2
Emergency/disaster conditions: large number of animals
to be disposed
9. Methods of cremation of animals: Three methods
1. Cross-trench (pit)
2. Surface burning
3. Bostock pit method
1. Cross-trench (pit):
• Two trenches (2m x 40 cm with 40-45 cm depth) are dug at
right angle
• The dug soil is heaped at the four right angles so created
• Wood, coal, straw, grass & tree branches are used to develop a
pyre over the heaps of soil
• The carcass soaked in kerosene & paraffin is placed over the
pyre & burnt
Cremation
10. 2. Surface burning:
• Useful for the large number of animals to be cremated
• A trench dug: (90 cm x 30 cm with a depth of 40-50 cm)
the length varies with the number of carcasses
• Carcasses are arranged in a way that head of a carcass is
next to the hind quarter of the other
• Small animals (if any, can): used as fillers of spaces in
between
• The carcasses are covered with kerosene, paraffin, wood
& straw & burnt
Cremation
11. 3. Bostock pit method:
• An oval pit (2m x 1.2 m with a depth of 1.2m) is dug
• A crossed trench (22 cm x 22 cm ) is then dug in its floor
• A ventilation trench (1.2 m x 45 cm ) with a depth of 30 cm
deeper than the main pits dug at right angle to it
• The trench is then connected with a drain pipe with the pit
• The pit is filled with straw wood and coal for about 3
quarters of the pit
• The carcass is then put after soaking it with
kerosene/paraffin and lighted
Cremation
12. Surface suitable for burial of a large carcass: 2.4-2.7 m deep
For a horse: 2 -2.5 m2
For cattle: 1.25 -2 m2
For sheep/pig: 0.84 m2
The carcass is lowered on to a thick layer (about 5 cm thick
may be sufficient under ordinary circumstances) of quicklime
and then covered with sufficient (as required) amount of
quicklime and soil.
The soil cover over the carcass: about 1.8 - 2.0 m thick
Burial
13. • It is an economic & safe method
• The carcass is kept on the surface of the earth
• Burnt with the help of about 10 flameguns
within few hours
Flamegun
14. • The carcass is incinerated in a destructor/incinerator
• By using very high temperature: 1300oC
• The carcass can be dismembered into pieces before
destruction
Incineration
15. • The materials/carcasses: from slaughterhouses & other
sources
• Samples are collected in knackeries for processing
• The organs of dead & emergency slaughtered animals are
sent to rendering plants
• Used to separate fat from the offal/tissues of dead animals
Tallow: fat of sheep/cattle
Lard: fat of pig
• Two process:
Wet (autoclaving/steam)
Dry (heat) methods
Rendering
16. • Remaining material used as meat meal & bone meal
Meat meal: rich source of protein, vitamin B & minerals
Bone meal: an important source of calcium & phosphorus
Mixed with animal rations or pet foods
• Rendering of raw materials common in France, Germany &
Italy
• It proves cheaper than burning the carcasses
Rendering
17. • It is well known & environment friendly practice
• The procedure has been described by Casper
• Used for the disposal of manure & other animal house wastes
• The decomposition process includes
Aerobic bacterial action
Cold, warm & hot decomposition processes
• The process used for dead pigs in roofed non insulated silos
• The silos: horizontal or tower form
• The carcasses are lifted & dumped into the silos
• Covered with straw-horse manure mixture as bulking agents
& carbon source
• Composting: achieved in 6-12 months
• The final product is used as fertilizer
Composting
18. • In the United States: successfully used to dispose of the
carcasses
• Layering
One part volume of carcass + 2 part volume of litter + 1
part volume of straw in a boxed area
Layering is repeated
In large animals litter can be replaced by manure
• Large carcasses: dismembered into pieces before being
layered
• Birds/small carcasses are used as fillers within the layers
• Urea-10-15 pounds of per 1000 pounds of carcass
• Bacteria involve is: Bacillus sp. thermogenic at 60-68o/14
days
Composting
19. The bacterial action is carried by Lactobacillus spp. under anaerobic conditions
at 32-40oC
The process is completed within 48 hr
The fermented material can be used as livestock feed
Rumen contents, blood & hydrolyzed feathers can be fermented (ensiled) in 6
weeks under rural conditions
Offal and scrap are ensiled efficiently with the help of 3% formic acid
The fermented product can be used as animal feed
Fermentation
20. Handling of stray and fallen animals
• Stray animals roam freely
• Create nuisance for the community in a number of ways including damage to crops
• They can be a serious hazard for vehicular traffic especially in congested urban areas
• These animals are more likely to be exposed to diseases & environmental toxicities
• When old & weak their movements become restricted
• The dung & urine excreted: become serious threats to environmental safety
• The filth created by such animals helps in the propagation of a variety of insects
• Fly breeding (maggots): real threat to community health & environment
21. The menace of stray animals can be minimized by collecting these animals in what are
called cattle pounds which are managed by pound keepers
The activity is regulated by the Cattle Trespass (Amendment) Act, 1921
In U.P., the act was enacted as the Cattle Traspass (Uttar Pradesh Amendment) Act, 1954
There are a number of private organizations that deal with the problem of old and
decrepit animals
In recent times, however, some goshalas have begun keeping even healthy cattle for
breeding purpose and production
The goshalas are supported by charitable organizations and occasional grants from the
Government sources
The activities of the goshalas are regulated by Goshala Acts (Bihar,1950 and U.P.,1964)
22. There has been a growing awareness about the welfare of animals
The activities concerning animal welfare in India are regulated by Animal Welfare Board of
India through the provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960
The Board has its units spread all over the country and is engaged in providing protection to
the animals from cruelty, disease and infirmity
Stray animals dying in open areas cause enormous damage to environment
They not only pollute the atmosphere with foul gases/odours but also invite vultures and
wild animals to create nuisance
These animals need to be collected immediately and disposed off in an economic and
efficient manner as described in carcass disposal methods
