The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform has called on members of the public to report suspected foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) cases and illegal livestock movements to the nearest state veterinary office.
Ministry spokesperson Romeo Muyunda says public cooperation is important in preventing the disease from spreading beyond the affected areas in the ||Kharas and Zambezi regions.
“Any suspected FMD case, unexplained signs of disease, or suspected unauthorised movement of animal or animal products should be reported immediately to the nearest district state veterinary office,” Muyunda said during an update on FMD on Wednesday.
The ministry also encourages farmers and communities to attend veterinary information sessions to learn more about the disease and the measures being taken to control it.
Muyunda says the outbreak in the ||Kharas region remains confined to 18 farms and Kala Island in Zambezi region.
