Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, conducted an oral magnet therapy camp in village Mehal kalan. It was organised under ICAR sponsored farmer FIRST Project
Dr. Ravinder Singh Grewal, Director of Extension Education and Nodal Officer of the project and Dr. Parminder Singh, Principal Investigator leading the entire team to provide different types of inputs and knowledge to the farmers. Dr. Rajesh Kasrija and Dr. Parteek Singh Dhaliwal, organized the event and administered oral magnets in 15 dairy animals of the beneficiary farmers.
Dr. Rajesh created awareness among the farmers about the oral magnets. He said that an oral magnet is a cylindrical bar magnet of 70 mm length, rounded at both ends which when administered orally to large dairy animals prevents diseases like Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis (TRP) or Hardware Disease and Diaphragmatic Hernia (DH). He enlightened the livestock owners about the risk of incorporation of metal objects like nails, pins, needles, screws, pieces of wire etc., in the feed of the dairy animals causing severe diseases, which if not taken into consideration may lead to severe consequences. Dr. Parteek Singh discussed TRP or DH being a major concern in production animals which leads to death of animals with huge economic losses.
The beneficiary farmers showed enthusiasm regarding the concept of oral magnet administration in dairy animals.
