Abstract: A study was done to evaluate the effects of the Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) vaccine on dairy cattle milk production and mortality status at different upazilas in Narsingdi district. The data was collected from rural dairy farmers using a semi-closed questionnaire with multiple choice. The sample size was determined using N= Z2 (1-P) P/L2 statistical formula. A total of 32 dairy household farmers were interviewed. A total of 62.5% of the farmers reported the LSD outbreak among their farms. In addition, 3.13% of the farmers reported that their cows stopped producing milk after being infected with the disease. In comparison, 18.75% reported average milk production, and 46.88% reported a 50% reduction in milk production. Furthermore, 43.75% of farmers diagnosed LSD by observing clinical symptoms instead of seeking veterinarian advice. Among all farmers, twenty farmers (62.5%) failed to vaccinate their dairy herd, while 37.5% reported cattle vaccination against LSD. Rural farmers' lack of LSD vaccination was due to the long distance between their homestead and the agrovet facilities. In addition, the vaccine providers were located in urban areas. Furthermore, the Neethling strain and SIS Neethling strain were the two primary vaccines sold in agrovet shops in Narsingdi district. Although there is a relationship between cattle vaccination against LSD, milk production and mortality rates among dairy farms, vaccine suppliers' access to a significant barrier to vaccine uptake in all upazilas.
