The National Centre for Animal Health, Department of Livestock, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Royal Government of Bhutan, is delighted to share the latest update on Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) vaccination program in the country.
Since August 19, 2023, a remarkable effort has led to the successful vaccination of 193,915 bovines (cattle, yak, mithun and buffalo) in 186 Gewogs of 20 Dzongkhags.
With profound sorrow, we regretfully announce the passing of our beloved member of our fraternity Late Pema Jamtsho who departed from this world on the morning of 16th Sept, 2023. He was a dedicated and diligent Livestock official who served as the In-Charge of DVH Trashigang. Prior to this, he served as an extension officer at Kangpara, Thrimshing, and Lumang Gewog. Born in 1981, Late Pema Jamtsho completed his B.Sc. in 2015 from CNR and subsequently joined DVH Tashigang.
Throughout his illustrious career, Late Pema Jamtsho exhibited unwavering commitment to his service. He was not only a highly esteemed professional but also a rock of support and strength for the Trashigang livestock sector.
He is survived by his two daughters and a son. Tragically, his wife, who also served as a livestock supervisor, succumbed to an incurable illness previously.
During this time of profound grief, our thoughts and prayers are with his children and all his loved ones. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his memory forever resonate in our hearts.
Livestock Fraternity
Department of Livestock.
