    Mass Deworming Program:

    Worms are the main enemy of dairy animals. Gut of animals is a habitat for them. They suck blood from gut and survive and multipied in thousands. Thus, a great loss in terms of milk production, health and reproductive efficiency of animals a farmer has to bear. As per science, it should be kept below 2.5%. We had adopted Mass Deworming Practice since the year 2002 and as a result worm load is reduced to 2.5% from 12%. We are feeding an anthelmintic drug to our majority of animals(90% coverage) in a couple of days. A pilot study was carried out to estimate milk production hike after feeding of this drug. It was increased at the tune of 5% in the year 2002 ( inception year). Hence, that hike is being restored by mass deworming every year. We do adopt this practice during monsoon (Aug-Sept) when worm infestation is higher.

    Ectoparasite Control Program:

    Ectoparasites like tick, lice, mites, mange, etc. are blood sucking parasites of dairy animals. Thus, significant loss of milk production , a farmer has to bear. To prevent this, we follow Ectoparasite Control Program round the year. Farmers avail good quality ectoparasiticidal drugs at subsidized rate by our union. We offer 30% subsidy for these drugs.
