Lumpy skin disease may be controlled in a month, says Sanjeev Balyan

On the impact of LSD on the country's milk production, Balyan said there will be a minimal impact on annual milk production, if any

As Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) emerges as one of the biggest challenges facing the country’s dairy sector, minister of state for animal husbandry, fisheries and dairying Sanjeev Balyan said there are signs of stabilising. And, if things remain as they are, it should come under control within a month, he added.

“So far, LSD has been found in 13 states but in the last 2-3 days we are seeing some signs of the spread stabilising, except in Rajasthan. In UP, the spread has been confined to just western parts of the state. Figures are showing that it is getting controlled.
