Sanjeev Kumari Paul, Kullu.
Beautiful area of Kullu-Manali is a well known tourist spot in India.So many people from India as well as other countries come here every year to enjoy charming beauty of nature. Many foreigners find it so beautiful and peaceful that they prefer to spend a major part of their life in the lap of the hills of this area.
I also admire and enjoy every minute detail of the nature here but as a vet I do feel the guilt of being not able to do anything constructive for the cattle suffering from ENZOOTIC BOVINE HEMATURIA. In some belts of Kullu-Manali hills, according to the public more than 40% of cattle are suffering from what they call "LONCHA" in the local tongue which means blood in urine or red urine. In technical veterinary language, this condition is ENZOOTIC BOVINE HEMATURIA of chronic nature characterized mainly by the haemorrhages and neoplasia of urinary bladder leading to anaemia and progressive weakness of the body and ultimately death in later stages. The cows inspite of their sufferings keep producing calves and milk to nurture us, the bullocks keep ploughing our fields but, me as a vet can't do anything else except giving the symptomatic and supportive therapy.
Many factors have been attributed as cause of this disease and among them one is chronic Bracken Fern poisoning also.
As a vet, it infact pierces deep inside my heart when I find such cattle and can't offer any effective cure to relieve these innocent animals of their bladder neoplasia.
And as an emotional farmer, I pray to god-----Kindly send an angel with some magic cure to treat "LONCHA" in the cattle of my beautiful hills. Oh God!! Why are these innocennt creatures suffering, when everybody else is enjoying the beauty of these HILLS."
