ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Dapa, Shazo, Shazopa, Tashiyangtse, Turnery, Woodturning Abstract Woodturning is a popular business in Yangtse Gewog, Tashiyangtse; however, it is not a primary activity for most households.A lack of studies on households’ decisions to pursue woodturning business in Bhutan motivated the authors toidentify the determinants of households engaging in the woodturning business (Shazo) in Yangtse Gewog, Tashiyangtse, Bhutan. Data were collectedfrom 178 households usingpre-tested structured questionnaires. The results showed that households’ experiences of the woodturning business and nonfarm income earned by households were the significant determinants (p = .000), suggestingthat the woodturning business requires skills and initial investments. Therefore, stakeholders concerned shouldprioritizeproviding woodturning skills and financial support to aspiring woodturners. Introduction Woodturning is said to be originated around 3rd B.C. in Egypt; however, concrete evidence of woodturning practice was recorded from only about 6th century B.C.

For real-time update, please visit our website, http://www.ncah.gov.bt Bumthang Dzongkhag Chhoekhor and Tang Gewog Haemorrhagic septicaemia – 9 August 2021* An outbreak of Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS), caused by certain serotypes of Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative coccobacillus residing mostly as a commensal in the nasopharynx of animals, in yak was reported from Gamshi area (base of Tolala) of Chhoekhor gewog, Bumthang dzongkhag on 3 August 2021. As per the disease outbreak investigation report shared, the outbreak which was found to have started from 30 July 2021 had affected 8 yaks. Since the affected herd was located very far from the centre, the herd could not be visited during the outbreak time. However, as per the owner, as recorded later during the investigation, the affected animals showed clinical signs such as swollen neck and throat, tongue protrusion, laboured breathing, salivation and death within 24 hours. It was found that the affected animals have not received the annual vaccination against the disease. In response to the outbreak, a ring vaccination program was conducted covering 120 yaks in the nearby yak herds.
