| Abstract: | Gastrointestinal parasitic infection is highly prevalent in the North Eastern States (NEH) of India and accounted for significant
economic losses across various livestock species. Productivity of cattle in terms of milk yield was estimated to be considerably
higher (3,715, 3,590, and 3,154 L) due to strategic anthelmintic treatment as compare to control group (2,928 L). Based on
the probability of occurrence of parasitic infection as well as increase in value of milk production, the possible economic
gain at state level has been estimated to be Rs. 46 million, Rs. 35 million, and Rs. 14 million, depending upon the different
strategic treatment. The government may take up the program to educate the cattle farmers on strategic management against
parasitic infecion and simultaneously making available various anthelmintic medicines. This public responsibility of the government
to minimize the risk and economic loss due to gastrointestinal parasite infection may reduce the private cost and thereby
would increase the social benefits in North Eastern states of India. |
