Haemorrhagic septicaemia
Diagnosis:
Bovine heart - there are numerous often coalescing petechiae on the epicardium.
1. History of season, climate & stress factor.
2. Symptoms - high fever, swelling of throat region.
3. Postmortem findings - hemorrhages throughout body &
submandibular edema.
4. Examination of blood smears and smears from oedematous fluid.

Bacterial diseases of livestock
Treatment:
Treatment is effective if given in early stage of disease.
a) Specific treatment:
1. Injection Sulphadimidine @ 150 mg/Kg body weight IV
daily for 3 days.
2. Injection Oxytetracycline @ 5-10 mg/Kg body weight IV
or IM daily for 3 days.
b) Supportive treatment:
1. Use of antipyretics to reduce body temperature.
2. Use of antihistaminic e.g. Injection Pheniramine maleate
or Chlorpheniramine maleate 5-10 ml IM.
Control:
a) General measures:
1. Isolation and treatment of the affected animals.
2. Close animal markets, cattle shows etc.
3. Burning or burial of dead animals.
4. Proper disposal of contaminated feed and water.
5. Disinfection of cattle shed.
6. Avoid long distance transportation and exposure to
extreme weather.
b) Vaccination:
Alum precipitated H.S. vaccine@ 5 ml subcutaneous every
year before monsoon.
Side effects:
Generally no significant side effects are noticed after vaccination.
However, in few cases a small swelling may develop at the site
of inoculation which usually subsides within a few days.
Dosage:
Cattle, Buffaloes and Calves - 3 ml
Self-study:
Anthrax
Bacillus anthracis
Transmission:
1. It usually spreads through ingestion of contaminated feed
and water.
2. Sometimes, it also occurs by inhalation and biting flies.
3. Through a cut in the skin exposed to the bacterium (cutaneous).
Symptoms:
There are three forms of anthrax: (1) cutaneous, (2) inhalation,
and (3) gastrointestinal form.
