Abstract

Goat rearing is one of the best opted sources of earning livelihood for the rural poor and majority of the farming communities consider goat rearing as a family business. Contagious ecthyma (CE), an infectious disease primarily of small ruminants is caused by an epitheliotropic DNA virus namely, Orf virus, a member of the genus Parapoxvirus of family Poxviridae. The virus causes significant financial losses in small ruminant production. The disease is clearly differentiated from the scabby and ulcerative lesions on scantily haired or non-hairy areas of muzzle, ears, lips and nostril. Although the ailment is usually benign and self-limiting, it may inflict significant financial losses affecting the productivity of livestock. In the present paper, we intend to aware the farming community and readers through reporting what we came across during our field visits at farmers’ door steps in villages around our institute ICAR-DFMD-ICFMD, Odisha under corporate social responsibility and others in the period between July and August 2022.
