Sri Vijaya Puram, Aug. 8: The Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services (AH&VS), Andaman and Nicobar Administration, conducted a Veterinary Health and Infertility Camp on August 7, 2025, in Ranchi Basti, Ward No. 15, under the jurisdiction of the Veterinary Hospital, Junglighat. The initiative aimed to address infertility issues in cattle and provide essential healthcare services to enhance livestock productivity and support farmers’ livelihoods.
A number of cattle, including adult cows, heifers, and calves, were examined and treated. Veterinary teams diagnosed one case of pyometra (metritis) and provided targeted treatment. To support animal health and productivity, 3 kg of Growmin Forte (mineral supplement), 1 kg of MilkUp (milk production enhancer), and 1200 ml of dewormer were distributed. These interventions addressed reproductive and health challenges, ensuring improved outcomes for local livestock.
The camp was held at farmers’ premises, facilitating direct access to veterinary services for the Ranchi Basti community. Veterinary experts provided guidance on animal care, emphasizing the importance of timely treatments and proper nutrition to enhance fertility and milk production. The initiative equipped farmers with resources and knowledge to sustain healthy livestock populations.
This effort reflects the AH&VS Department’s commitment to improving livestock health and supporting rural economies in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The active participation of farmers in Ranchi Basti underscores their dedication to adopting veterinary best practices. The Department plans to conduct similar camps across other wards to ensure widespread access to animal healthcare services, aligning with the Andaman and Nicobar Administration’s vision of promoting sustainable agricultural development and enhancing rural livelihoods through improved livestock management.
