Degnala Disease in Livestock | IBPS AFO #Shorts

• Degnala disease is a chronic toxicity disease caused by the mineral Selenium (Se). • It is linked to the consumption of fodder, specifically rice straw, grown in selenium-rich soils. • The disease affects buffaloes and causes symptoms on the tail, ear tips, forelimbs distal to knee joint, hind limb below hock joints, skin, and hooves. • First symptoms appear on the tail or ear tips leading to necrosis followed by gangrene, and later hooves may fall off. • An antidote mixture known as Degcure provides sulphate treatment to antagonise the effect of selenium toxicity.
