They must be inspected at the abattoirs if you must eat meat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe advise butchers to completely desist from butchering dead animals because you don\u2019t know what killed the animals but some of them won\u2019t heed. By so doing, they are also the first point of contact. The hazard is theirs. The animals must be inspected and certified okay before it come into the abattoir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amali assured that the state government through the committee, had intensified the sensitization of residents on safety measures.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cwe had embarked on television and radio sensitization and we now want to commence house to house sensitization because we have realised that because of the law prohibiting open grazing in the state, most houses and compounds have animals tied in their premises that do not come out at all and this could form a major number among livestock populations in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even if they are 20 or 30 percent, we are looking at starting our sensitization campaign house to house so that we could reach these animals that are being kept and fed within the houses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While urging residents to watchout for symptoms of the disease in their livestock, Dr. Amali said \u201conce you see blood oozing out of its eyes, ears, the anus or the anal area and the blood does not clot even after sometimes, the immediate thing to do is to quickly cordon the place so that nobody goes around there. Anthrax is contagious by contact and inhalation of the source.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been sensitizing the people on what to do; once they suspect anthrax, cordon the area, rush to the closest veterinarian, animal health specialist or government authorities to report for immediate action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He assured that his committee was working round the clock to ensure that there was no outbreak of the disease in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advised butchers to completely desist from butchering dead animals Intensified the sensitization of residents on safety measures The Benue state government has cautioned residents against the consumption of dead animals to avert contracting anthrax disease.
