Kuno National Park Takes Proactive Measures to Protect Cheetahs with Imported Ointment

Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh has initiated the application of imported anti-maggot ointment to cheetah fur to prevent septicemia during the rainy season. This measure follows the deaths of three cheetahs last year. The ointment will be applied to all 13 adult cheetahs to ensure their well-being.

Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh has launched a new initiative aimed at safeguarding its cheetah population by applying imported ointment to their fur, according to an official statement.

This proactive measure is designed to prevent a recurrence of septicemia, a deadly bacterial infection responsible for the deaths of three cheetahs last year.

The cheetahs, which were brought to India from South Africa and Namibia as part of a translocation project, are receiving Anti Ecto Parasite Medicine to combat this life-threatening condition.
