The place and time for the farmers meeting is the basic
step to get the actual status of information/data required
by the searcher or PDS Team. The most feasible place for
every farmer is the common chowk near the main mosque
of the village or his animal shed in afternoon or evening
time.
The active farmer’s community participation in the
exercises of Participatory Disease Surveillance program in
District Sahiwal confirms that the tools of Participatory
Epidemiology are quite helpful to evaluate the disease
situation in the village/area. The interest of the
farmers/participants was very much appreciable while
applying the exercise of mapping, seasonal calendar and
proportional pilling.
The active farmers community participation farmers in one
meeting is more effective and valuable for having
discussion on every aspects if gathering is under 15-20
farmers representing all the groups of village/area.
The management and feeding aspects are being ignored by
the farmers causing metabolic disorders in their livestock,
such as Hemoglobin urea, Mastitis and prolapsed uterus
are main concern for the farmers.
The livestock holders/ farmers community of District
Sahiwal are well aware about the severity of Hemorrhagic
Septicemia and they are vaccinating their Buffalo and
cattle against HS but not on regular basis.
The Foot and Mouth disease was prevailing in the
area/villages 3 months back but the farmers have no fear
about the disease as the disease is not causing mortality in
the livestock.
The name of Rinderpest Disease is new for the farmers of
area/villages, but the symptoms especially Diarrhea
described by farmers and the PDS Team lead to think
about the PPR in sheep and Johnes disease in buffalos and
cattle.
While discussion of the treatment services, it was observed
that the treatment services are being provided by the
different categories of practitioners such as qualified staff
like veterinary doctors, veterinary assistants, A.I
technicians, veterinary village workers and non qualified
staff like school teachers, milk man, livestock traders,
elder of the village, peer and Siaana of village/area.
The different categories of veterinary practitioners are
treating the sick animals on symptomatic findings rather
than the actual diagnosis.
The provision of necessary chemicals and instruments at
every veterinary hospital and dispensary for the laboratory
diagnosis of disease would be helpful for early recovery of
sick animals.
The active and positive participation of 1102 farmers in 57
meetings held in District Sahiwal for livestock Disease
Search program gave the result that livestock production
extension program is the basic need of farmer to develop
his economy as well as the National Economy at large.
