How to prevent foot-and-mouth disease in cattle? These measures must be taken well
Prevention of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle
The first preventive measure is to strengthen quarantine; in areas where the disease frequently occurs, preventive injections must be given twice regularly. Second, once an outbreak occurs or is suspected to have occurred, the epidemic situation must be reported immediately, strict blockade must be implemented at the epidemic site, diseased animals must be isolated, disinfected and handled, diseased cattle must be strictly culled, carcasses must undergo harmless treatment, the epidemic area must be blockaded, the source of infection must be eliminated, and the site and equipment must be thoroughly disinfected; the blockade can only be lifted after 1 week with no new cases appearing. After diagnosis is confirmed, foot-and-mouth disease vaccine of the same virus type as the prevalent one should be used immediately to carry out emergency preventive injections for cattle, sheep and pigs in the epidemic area and threatened areas. During the epidemic period of this disease, personal protection must be noted to prevent infection and the spread of the virus.
