Retrospective Assessment of Black Leg in Kafta Humera Woreda
Abstract
Retrospective study was conducted with the objective of assessing the vaccination coverage of Kafta Humera through observation of different woredas against black leg from records of the Humera veterinary clinic in Tigray region of Ethiopia, from 207/8-2012/13. The result revealed that there was vaccination program against black leg every year in the woreda. At the same time, there was a reduction in diseased animals and death rate from time to time. But there are some cases still existing with high rates of infection in Begait cattle (a breed common in northern Ethiopia). This indicates that the disease is still persisting in the area and strengthening the existing vaccination program and immediate detection of diseased animals and treating them is essential to mitigate the disease in the area.
