A disease kills animals, specifically goats and sheep in some villages in Bagata territory, in Kwilu province. One of the notables of the affected villages, Jean Mitwinsi, alerts and launches an SOS.
According to him, it is for more than a month that the villagers have been confronted, powerless, with this disease which decimates their animals.
He indicates that the most affected villages are in particular Mitiene, Lethier, Kimbimbi, Matamba in Bagata territory.
Jean Mitwinsi explains that this disease manifests itself in diarrhea and fatigue. Two days later, it causes death in the affected animals.
“Goats get diarrhea, get weak and then die. Goats die a lot. They have become rare. If you enter here you will no longer find goats. This worries us. Let the vets come and help us figure out what exactly it is. We only live off breeding. In the event of illness or children's studies, we sell them to cover expenses. But see how we have become! Our economy is on the ground. We have become poor. It's unfortunate, ”he lamented.
For the provincial minister of agriculture, fishing and livestock of Kwilu, Artur Lako, it is pasteurellosis (an infection that affects humans and animals; it is caused by a specific microbe: “Pasteurella multocida ”).
This authority reassures that the government has taken all measures to deal with this disease. A batch of drugs and vaccines against pasteurellosis is already available in the capital of the territory.
“We had to store a lot of medicines in Bagata, there are already products there, even vaccines are also found there. We have given instructions to intervene whenever there are cases of pasteurellosis that arise. So they must quickly run to the capital of the territory, contact the inspector of the fishing and breeding territory for rapid intervention, ”he explained.
