41. Evaluation of Health
Note down the following conditions :

43. Evaluation Report Format
Name of person------------
Post----
Date of visit-----
Compartment no.---
General Health of Wild Life
Very Good--------+ + + [Write 3 plus marks]
Good- ++
Weak- +
Accordingly write down the general health of total
wild herbivores in a flock. Write about the
abnormalities observed if any.

44. Name of Vegetables In The Compartment
Grasses----
Fruit trees
Trees
Distance of water source
Near the compartment or away from compartment
Presence of Mineral Depot [ Salt Lick ]
There are certain areas in the Forest where Minerals are
present. Wild animals use to go to that place & licks soil or
stones

45. Distance from Village
Grazing alone in groups or with Domestic
Herbivores
Out break of any disease in near by villages
If yes, immediately report to Higher authority
& also inform to near by Govt. Veterinary
Doctor
Names of Wild Carnivores present in the area

46. Write down on all above points & submit your report to higher authority for
necessary action.
With the help of your report monitoring of wild life heath will be possible.
Compartments where heath of wild life is weak, more attention is to be given.
The conditions in the healthy area are in the record & are with you. Compare it on
following points.
1] Availability of Grasses, Fruit trees in both areas. In healthy & in weak wild life
area.
Note down the difference between two areas
Take suitable measures accordingly. Introduce the new verity of trees & grasses in
weak sector for better results.
2] Other factors like water holes, Common grazing of wild life & domestic
animals & mineral depot must be consider on war footage.
3] make the weak wild life area like that of healthy area. This will definitely help in
improving general health of wild life.
4] Collect faecal material from all the area. Get it examined.
Collect only random samples & not of each wild life,
The above measures will definitely improves the general health of wild life in all
ranges.

Acute & highly contagious disease in wild herbivores
Symptoms
Vesicles or Erosions in mucosa of mouth
Rise in Temp
Vesicles in cleft of hoof
Salivation
Lameness
Starvation
Unable to Drink

157. Treatment
Very difficult to treat wild herbivores in in-situ
condition.
I came across an out break of F.M.D. at
Navergaon National Park, Dist. Bhandara
[M.S.]. 5-6 Bison’s died due to this disease.
Though the mortality is less but I observed 6-
8% Mortality

158. History
There was out break of F.M.D. in near cattle. The
area of out break was very near to National Park.
Local Cattle & wild herbivores use to graze together
in Forest. So due to this disease spread in the
Bosons, out break in cattle occurred in octs.2001.
Out break in Bison was reported on 6-5-2002.
It was not possible to Tranquilise every Bison for
treatment. So a thought came in my mind to treat
the Bison’s on Artificial water holes.(Summer
Season)

159. Line of Treatment-“Water hole Treatment”
1. First all artificial water holes were identified. Filled them with
fresh water
Added – Khuren, Homeopathy medicine 15 bottles in each
water hole Twice daily
Pot, permanganate-3%
Cephalexin
Vimerol liquid
2. Area around 10-15 feet was first soaked with water by spraying
water.
3. Sprayed Turmeric powder on soaked area.
4. Above medication was done Twice daily
Very Good results were observed.

160. Rinder-Pest
Highly Contagious viral disease.
Symptoms-High fever, erosive steatites, gastro enteritis Diarrhea
Disease spread from infected Domestic animals.
Outbreak - Barasinga (Kanha 1967)
Gaur, Nilgai, Samber, Spotted deer & Four horned antelopes
P.M. Findings-Necrotic ulcers on buccal m.m.(brain like)
Skin Irruption. Large Intestine-Zebra Marking
Ileum -Necrosis & deep ulcers (payers patches)
Upper Resp.tract - patchier
Bladder & Vagina- ------!!-------.
Samples for Lab. Work & Confirmation-Sample of spleen Blood, liver,
Intestine
In 50% Buffered glycerin- Saline or In plastic bages ON ICE.
H.P.-Tissues in 10% Formalin
