Prevent Exposure To PMK, Distingan Aceh Jaya Desinfectant Animal Cages

The Aceh Jaya Agriculture Service Animal Health Team sprayed disinfectant in the Aceh Jaya community's cattle, Friday, February 10 (ANTARA)

The Aceh Jaya Regency Agriculture Service sprayed disinfectant in every livestock and cattle cage in the area in order to prevent the spread of repeated outbreaks of mouth and Kuku Diseases (PMK) such as the one that had attacked the region. "This spray is a preventive action against PMK disease, even though the current case is zero, we are still implementing the prevention process," said the Head of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Office Aceh Jaya Dailami in Banda Aceh, Friday. He explained that the PMK case in Aceh Jaya Regency had attacked 1.400 cows from a population of more than 39 thousand cows and buffalo tails in the local area. He said Aceh Jaya was the first most vaccinated PMK in Aceh. He claimed to have vaccinated by spending 40.200 doses of the first and second vaccines. "We hope that this PMK case does not happen again, so that the cattle and buffalo belonging to the residents remain safe," he said. In addition to spraying disinfectants, his party also routinely monitors the residents' cattle to ensure that all livestock are in a healthy condition and not infected with disease.
