Protecting and strengthening donkey hooves helps avoid additional health issues, discomfort, and pain in donkeys as well as potential long-term implications. Attending to the feet of donkeys is one of the basic health care practice which helps donkeys to carry their day-to-day tasks with ease.
Rabies kills
Every year, an estimated 59 000 people worldwide die of one of the oldest diseases known to man: rabies. Rabies is caused by infection from a lyssavirus. The disease is named after Lyssa, the Greek spirit of madness, frenzy, and rage, vividly evoking the horror of a rabid death.
The Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (LSPCA) has recently trained 20 lecturers, technicians, farm managers, and animal handlers from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), and Central Veterinary Lab on animal welfare.
What is rabies?
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that is spread in the saliva of infected animals. All mammals can get rabies. People usually get rabies from licks, bites, or scratches from infected dogs and cats. Rabies affects the central nervous system, ultimately causing brain disease and death. Once symptoms of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal, so prevention is especially important. The most proven and effective way of preventing rabies is through rabies vaccination of animals.
