Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the attempts to create an alternative source of anti-rinderpest serum. An immunization agent for cattle and buffaloes against the destructive rinderpest disease, the serum was traditionally sourced from highly susceptible hill cattle, posing challenges for supply. The author investigates the possibility of using buffaloes as a more suitable source. The author's experiments substitute buffaloes as both serum producers and virus propagators. Their findings indicate that buffaloes are capable of producing an equally potent serum, even after several generations of virus passaging. This successful substitution of buffaloes for hill cattle offers a sustainable solution to serum production, alleviating the burden on hill cattle populations and mitigating the risks associated with sourcing from a single, vulnerable group of animals.
