Today i will Share Foot and Mouth Lesions Treatment. • Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of cattle and swine. It also affects sheep, goats, deer, and other cloven-hooved ruminants. FMD is not recognised as a zoonotic disease. • The disease spreads very quickly if not controlled and because of this is a reportable disease. • Symptoms • Fever • Bilsters in the mouth and on feet • Drop in milk production • Weight loss • Loss of appetite • Quivering lips and frothing of mouth • Cows may develop blisters on teats • Lameness • Prevention • FMD is one of the most difficult animal infections to control. Because the disease occurs in many parts of the world, there is always a chance of its accidental introduction into an unaffected country. • Export restrictions are often imposed on countries with known outbreaks. • FMD outbreaks are usually controlled by quarantines and movement restrictions, euthanasia of affected and in-contact animals, and cleansing and disinfection of affected premises, equipment and vehicles. • Infected carcasses must be disposed of safely by incineration, rendering, burial or other techniques. Milk from infected cows can be inactivated by heating to 100°C (212°F) for more than 20 minutes. Slurry can be heated to 67°C (153°F) for three minutes. • Rodents and other vectors may be killed to prevent them from mechanically disseminating the virus. • Good biosecurity measures should be practiced on uninfected farms to prevent entry of the virus. • Vaccination • Vaccination can be used to reduce the spread of FMD or protect specific animals. • Vaccines are also used in endemic regions to protect animals from clinical disease. FMDV vaccines must closely match the serotype and strain of the infecting strain. • Vaccination with one serotype does not protect the animal against other serotypes, and may not protect the animal completely or at all from other strains of the same serotype. Currently, there is no universal FMD vaccine. • #FMD #FootAndMouthDisease #DrAnaya
