Milking the state

Reports that cattle have been struck by different kinds of disease in Canacona and Ponda talukas is disturbing news for the 180-odd dairy societies in the state, as well as for the Goa Dairy, which already imports most of its milk from neighbouring Maharashtra and Karnataka. A mysterious disease has been slowly but steadily killing a number of cattle at Veling-Priol and Kundaim in Ponda taluka during the past fortnight, prompting veterinary officials to urge dairy farmers to get their cattle vaccinated.
