South LAMPUNG - The target for vaccination of mouth and nail disease (PMK) this year in South Lampung for cattle and buffalo has been met.

The Regency Government (Pemkab) of South Lampung Province, recorded that 37,425 livestock in the local area had been vaccinated with verbal and nail disease (PMK).

"From January to June 20, 2023, the total number of livestock that have received the vaccine is 37,425 thousand," said Head of the South Lampung Regency Livestock Service Rini Ariasih in Kalianda, Saturday.

Meanwhile, to anticipate the spread of PMK and Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) transmission in this area, his party has taken steps.

"We have educated to farmers and business actors, conducted outreach to farmers on various occasions such as during 'briefing' (direction),'meetings' (meetings), meetings, meetings, giving disinfectants and spraying into cages," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, June 24.

Regarding the distribution of vaccines, his party has distributed them at several points in South Lampung.

"The vaccination of PMK and LSD has been carried out at several points to adjust the allocation of vaccines that have been received," he said.

His party has also tightened supervision of the cattle and goat market ahead of Eid al-Adha, following the outbreak of cases of LSD and PMK.

"We from the service will continue to tighten supervision of livestock ahead of Eid al-Adha," he said.

Rini Ariasih appealed to livestock owners to always maintain the health of cows and always clean the home environment.

"Use flies or similar insects to minimize the number of flies and mosquitoes around them, because these flies become vectors that participate in spreading LSD," he concluded.
