The Livestock Department in Al Bayda has reported an alarming increase in the number of animals dying due to nodular dermatitis, reaching 103, including 81 cows and 34 calves.
The department attributed the rising number of infections, which now stands at 910, to a shortage of vaccinations, disease-specific insecticides, and disinfectants. They also cited governmental negligence in providing urgent necessities for the operation of the animal health office.
