General Advisory

  • Break/harvesting/threshing of mature crops standing in the field and sowing of rapeseed should be done in the absence of rain and if the crop harvested in the field has got wet, then threshing should be done after drying it thoroughly in the sun. Prevent animals from going to flowing water/waterlogged areas. Do not allow animals to drink stagnant rain water. During the rainy season, the possibility of lice/lice infestation in animals becomes stronger. To prevent this, sprinkle lime in the animal enclosure so that the eggs and larvae of the lice/lice are destroyed. During the rainy season, when going out of the house at night, carry a torch and to avoid snakes, scorpions etc., close the walls and holes of the house and sprinkle a little kerosene or phenyl, the smell of which drives away the snakes.
