General Livestock production occupies an unimportant place in Ceylon's economy. The farm population is traditionally disinterested in animal raising and ignorant of proper management or disease control measures. Veterinary services are under. staffed, poorly organieed anicurrently incapable of coping with moat disease problems. Religious prejudice among some segments of the population against the destruction of sick animals is another factor responsible for the low standard of animal health in Ceylon. Food sanitation and soonoses control are seriously . hindered by a lack of cooperation between the veterinary and medical services. Government authorities have recornised the need for development of an efficient livestock industry and have repeatedly sought the advice of foreign technical experts. lbwoVer, with the exception of recent improvement in poultry production,' VW?..9/31..LIVEY programs have,not progressed beyond the planning stage. . ? B. tel factors affecting health 1. Topography and climate -- Luxuriant growth of suitable forage crops, under proper eanagement, can provide adequate fodder for efficient livestock production. The hot,trOpical climate favors the raising of buffalo and indigenous herds of V.W.Wa5/32/ 50X1 cattle end goats over the less cliamtically adaptable exotic breeds. 2.. Socio-economic pattern Lack of pastoral tradition among Ceylon's" agricultural population is en important limiting factor in the development of y sound livestock production. --1- 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/09/25: CIA-RDP80R01426R009800120004-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/09/25: CIA-RDP80R01426R009800120004-1 Nttrition CONFIDENTIAL b. Food =pay anl distribution -- The inability of Ceylon's livestock and liciry industry to meet the demnnds for meat and dairy products; coupled with an inadequate distribution eystem; loaves large parts of the population with a substandard intake of animal proteins. Ceylon imports goats for slaughter purposes as well as moat; eggs and dried ndlk to alleviate the shortage of locally- produced animal supplies. c. Food sanitation, storage and technology Food sanitation in CAA= is; in general, inadequate. There is a lack of refrigeration facilities and unhygienic Conditions prevail in the majority of slaughterhouses; dairies and food 2/12/32/9.131/4 stores. C. Diseases 2. Diseases of animals A number of serious animal diseases severely retard the development of Ceylon's livestock industry. The veterinary services; under- staffed and poorly organised, are incapable of coping effectively with most disease problems. Unrestricted movenznt of diseased animat and the religions objection on the part of certain segments -of the population to the destruction of animals for any reason; are other factors hindering effective disease control. Government veterinary authorities have recognized the importance of maintaining healthy live- stock and have sought the assistance of foreign technical experts in the formulation of disease control programs; few of these programs, however, have progressed beyond the planning stage. Ceylon presently is free from rinderpest; however, the importation of Goats for slaughter purposes from India; whore rinderpeit is still widespread; presents W2/12/1.2/3-VEY a continuous poshibility of introducing the disease..

Prevalent animal diseases (1) Haemorrhagic septicemia -- Haemorrhagic septicemia is the most significant diseaae;of cattle and buffalo in Ceylon. In 1955 and 1956 the disease - assumed enzootic proportions; since then the incidence hao declined, but basmorrhagic septicemia is still a major factor in animal losses. Recently, veterintry.authoritits have expressed. interest in the intensive bulk ,production of aerated broth culture haemorrhagic septicemia vaccine carried out in several Southeast Asian countries.- Monomical.vaccine production by this method has enabled many countries in this area to carry out mast immunisation programs. Ceylon 'could duplicate such programs with currently available technical personnel provided necessary funds for field operations were appropriated. Presentlyvvaccination is confined to valuable stock in government and certain private herds, and to animals in areas of serious outbreaks. This poliey has little influence on the course of the disease and periodic entootios can be expected as immunity from natural infections declines and new susceptible cattle populations Y.VV..iY3.2/11./ develop. (2) Rabies -- Rehieein ensootio in Ceylon, the main reservoir being numerous stray doge in both urban and. rural areal. Mbnkeys, jackals and mongoose - are also significant uncontrolled reservoirs. ' Rabies causes an estimated average Of 100 human fatalities aznually. Aside from the ColoMbo (0646H - 79-51E) Hemlth Department, which employs two veterinarians, rabies control measures are carried out by medical officers and'health inspectors under direction of the Deputy Director of Public Health Services. The Medical Research Institute performs diagnostic work and produces vaccine for human post- exposure treatment. CONFIDENTIAL .3.

(3) Belminthiales Balminthiases are an omnipresent prebles in Ceylon. ? Oastrcwintestinel infections es well as verminous bronchitis contribute to widespread untbriftiness in livestock. Cerebrospinal rianatodiagia, a mosquito borne Setaria spp, infection, invades the central nervous system oisoats, cattle end boreal. Losses resulting froa paralysis 3/- 2 are often severe. , ' (b) Foot-'and4auth dieaaae'... Too t4outh disease (types 0, A and C) ? ,- is entpetie in Ceylon. The disease is .of relatively low virulence for buffalo and 'indigenous Cattle; however, European *tattle and tbei?aims are pore seriously affected. Aside from the importation 'of vaccine for the protection of government y22411SE/ and valuable private herd., little effort is made ,to centrel the disease. (5) Brucellosis -- Bovine brucellosis is widespread in Ceylon. However, no incidence figures are available except from the government herds which have a reactor rate of about 20 percent. Control measures are confined to government and some private farms where calfhood vaccination with "Strain 19" and segregation of ..4.13/VEY reactors is practiced. (6) Blood prototoan infections !tick borne aneplatmoais (A., marginal.), ganderiosis lantana), and babesiosis (B. bigeraina), are coon among buffalo and cattle in Ceylon. Native animals do not appear to be seriously affected; however, 212/2/2 unthriftineen and stunted growth are frequent in cattle of the European breeds.

Veterinary activities involving nethode of treatment or development of demonstration programs for sanitary handling of livestock, common in maw countries, have not been undertaken to any VE/W2.9/2/ great extent in Ceylon. (8) Peultry diseases -- Newcastle disease (Nsnikhet) is the most significant of the diseases threatening Ceylon's expanding poultry industry. Veterinary authorities are conducting an extensive eradication campaign, consinting of free vaccination of young end adult birds and the dis:emination at publicity regarding the nature and control of the disease. Other importeat poultry diseases are leucosis, foe pax, foe plague, chronic '1/3/W12.13.WW34-2/ respiratory dieease and pullorum disease. t4 Other important diseases -- Cther important animal diseases in Ceylon are anthrax, blackleg, bovine =Anis/ Johns 's diseases coccidiosis And Y.V2/ElVEY ectoparasitiam.

The Deputy Director is responsible to the Department ? of Health which operates under the' Ministry of Health.
