A 1906 article from The Agricultural Journal of India in which a veterinary professor at Lahore argues for introducing sheep dipping in India. He describes the external parasites and skin diseases he found in Indian sheep, including ticks, lice, ringworm and sheep scab, and the tick-borne diseases they carry. He links these to the poor quality and low prices of Indian wool and hides. He compares conditions with Australia, the United States, Argentina and New Zealand, and proposes village dipping stations under veterinary supervision.
