Biosecurity alone is not enough to protect our wildlife from Foot and Mouth Disease 🦠 infection but it’s all we have right now…

… until the state WAKES UP to the fact that buffalo CAN and SHOULD be vaccinated, so the nation can return to FMD-free status.

Vaccinate before it’s too late… 🙏🏼Biosecurity alone cannot save our 🦠 disease-free buffalo 🐃

According to Dr Dirk Verwoerd, the FMD situation could escalate dramatically if the entire red meat value chain does not urgently unite to contain it.

How we wish more people would pay attention to this 🙏🏼At the moment, our disease-free buffalo cannot be vaccinated 😭

At the moment, our disease-free buffalo cannot be vaccinated 😭

When an outbreak of FMD occurs, the immediate focus is usually on animal movement control. Yet a far more ordinary risk factor gets overlooked: the vehicle.
