Dairy herds will be prioritised for FMD vaccination

Dairy herds will be prioritised for vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth disease once vaccines arrive from abroad. That's an undertaking from the Agriculture Department during a heated meeting with irate dairy farmers in Howick, in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Agriculture Minister, John Steenhuisen, who oversaw the roll-out of a mass vaccination campaign in the area, says South Africa is set to secure 28 million doses of vaccine this year. This will enable them to vaccinate 80 percent of the national herd of 14 million cattle by the end of the year. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
