A team of doctors from the Polyclinic at Lalri in Una district of Himachal Pradesh recently performed an operation and gave new life to a nine-month pregnant buffalo. During the operation, 66 sharp pieces of metal were removed from the buffalo’s stomach.
Animal farmer Karnail Singh, resident of Barewal village of Haroli sub-division of Una district, said that he had gone to the polyclinic with his nine-month pregnant buffalo. The reason was that his buffalo was not able to eat fodder for about 10 days and was looking lethargic and sick. Doctor Nishant Ranaut present in the clinic examined the buffalo.

Appeal to cattle farmers to be careful
Dr. Nishant Ranaut has appealed to the cattle owners to be cautious. Before feeding fodder to the animals, especially sift the wheat straw and other dry fodder thoroughly, so that the pieces of nail, wire or other metal present in it do not reach the stomach of the animals. A little caution can save animals from serious diseases and major operations.
