Express News Service BENGALURU:  At a time when people are facing the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in cattle in Karnataka and this has caused concern among farmers. Experts say the Union Government not carrying out the previous round of FMD vaccination owing to COVID-19 has resulted in the outbreak. Similar to COVID-19, an animal infected with FMD needs to be kept in isolation as the disease first identified in 1883 can spread through the cattle s saliva, urine, dung and even air and is highly contagious. Under the National Animal Disease Control Programme, vulnerable animals, mainly cows and buffaloes, are vaccinated once every six months. The protection period of vaccination is 180 days.
