JAKARTA - Cirebon City, West Java recorded 63 cattle belonging to local farmers exposed to mouth and nail disease (FMD). So there will be a temporary closure by the Beef Cattle Development Center (BPTP) in that area.
"There are currently 63 cows exposed to PMK," said Head of Cirebon City DKPPP Yati Rohayati in Cirebon, Tuesday, June 21, quoted from Antara.
He said that of the 63 cows exposed to FMD, 53 of them were still under treatment, seven recovered, two were forced to slaughter, and one died.
He said the spread of FMD in Cirebon City was relatively fast, because only a few days dozens of livestock, especially cows, were exposed to FMD.
He explained that the spread of PMK can also be through the air, between livestock, and when there are virus carriers, such as humans and goods that enter the cage.
"We are still treating livestock infected with FMD with perfunctory drugs," he said.
Currently, the spread of PMK in the local area is massive, so his party has temporarily closed the Cirebon City AIAT so that livestock in that area are not exposed to FMD.
In fact, said Yati, officers who go in and out are also sterilized as a step to prevent the spread of PMK. Only five employees are allowed to monitor the condition of the cows in the hall.
"We have 135 tails, in good health with a good appetite, and every day we spray disinfectant, for prevention," he said.
