Black Quarter & Anthrax Vaccine

Black quarter (black leg) is characterised by: high fever and lameness followed by swelling in the neck, shoulder, lumbar, gluteal and sacral regions. The skin over the affected area becomes dark and crepitates on palpation. There is loss of feed intake, colic, lateral recumbency, dyspnea and death.

Cattle and sheep with anthrax generally die suddenly. Just before death, animals may show signs of high fever. Blood may be present around the nose, mouth and a**s of carcasses. Human infection is controlled by reduction of infection in production animals. In general, consumption of meat from animals that died suddenly, meat obtained via emergency slaughter, and meat of uncertain origin should be avoided.

In areas where animals are likely to be subjected to continued exposure to infection, vaccination every 6 months using the combined vaccine is advised.
