Calls for calm as FMD breaks out

The dreaded disease was reported last week by the Director of Veterinary Services, Letlhogile Modise  who said the suspected outbreak was in the Nxamasere extåension area of the Okavango sub-district.

Masedi told Mmegi that the ministry had mobilized a surveillance team on the ground to issue vaccinations to cattle which showed suspicious signs of FMD. He said farmers should fear nothing as FMD can be contained, particularly as only a small portion was affected in the area.
