Abstract
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a disease of ruminant caused by virus of Capripox genus Poxviridae family which result in skin damage up to leave deep holes in the muscle of cattle and even death. The morbidity rate of LSD is quite high but the mortality rate is low. The LSD outbreak was quite disturbing for the people, especially leading up to Eid al-Adha because the legal requirements for sacrificial animals are that they are healthy and without defects. The aim of this paper was to determine prevalence and progression of LSD in cattle in Cirebon District from January to June 2023 or over the six months leading up to Eid al-Adha in 2023. Data on LSD infected, recovered, forcibly slaughtered and killed cattle due to LSD were needed. During this period, LSD has spread to 82 villages in 32 sub-districts with 454 cases out of a total cattle population of 4373 (prevalence was 10.83%). Meanwhile, the progression of LSD cases have improved with a significant cure rate of 137 cattle in response to LSD treatment.
