The disease, a highly contagious viral infection, has been spreading across Punjab for the past two months, causing significant losses to local farmers, just ahead of the <strong>Eidul Azha<\/strong> festival.<\/p>\n\n <p>\u201cI\u2019ve lost a cow and four calves to this disease, and now my bull is fighting for his life,\u201d said Mr. Abid. His farm, located on the outskirts of Chakwal, houses 13 animals, including cows and buffaloes. Mr. Abid noted that no government veterinarian had visited his farm for vaccination, despite the outbreak.<\/p>\n\n <p>The Chakwal livestock department remains unaware of the full scale of the situation. \u201cOnly one case has been reported from Tamman village in Talagang, affecting 15 animals,\u201d stated Additional Director <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Sohail Manzoor<\/span>. However, investigations by <em>Dawn<\/em> revealed that nearly every village in the region is affected by FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>In Murid village, dairy farmer <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Jaffar Abbas<\/span> lost two cows and four calves. \u201cThe financial loss is immense; two of my cows were valued at Rs 1 million,\u201d Abbas shared. His neighbor, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Ahmed Khan<\/span>, was also struggling to treat his cow, which had developed blisters on its tongue and was refusing to eat or drink.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"ad-container\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FMD-1024x1024.avif\" alt=\"Foot and Mouth Disease Advertisement\" class=\"post-image\">\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Despite the proximity to the livestock department\u2019s office, the cattle pen of <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Qazi Farooq<\/span> has seen seven animals succumb to the disease. Additionally, eight of the 24 animals owned by Ashir Ali have fallen ill due to FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>In Dhakku village, Aftab Ahmed\u2019s herd of goats and sheep has been significantly impacted by the disease, while his five cows are still recovering. In Dhudial, dairy farmer Syed Asad Abbas lost a heifer, and Mohammad Arif in Murid village lost three calves.<\/p>\n\n <div style=\"background-color: #FFFF99; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #FFD700; margin: 20px 0;\">\n <h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">IMPORTANT NOTICE<\/h2>\n <p style=\"text-align: center; color: #FF5733;\">This disease is causing severe financial hardship in the cattle farming community. Farmers are urged to report any cases of FMD and take all necessary precautions to prevent further outbreaks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Last week, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Mehran Aziz<\/span> took his sacrificial bull to the market, expecting a price of Rs 350,000, but had to bring it back when it failed to fetch the desired price. A few days later, the bull contracted FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>Meanwhile, cows that survived the disease are still facing the aftermath. “One cow, which was producing 20 liters of milk daily, is now only producing 3 to 4 liters. There is also concern that pregnant cows may abort, while lactating cows may fail to return to their estrus cycle,” a veterinarian explained.<\/p>\n\n <p>Former livestock deputy director <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Muhammad Riaz<\/span> reported attending over 150 FMD cases in the last month. He stated, “The disease remains a severe issue in many villages, and the mortality rate has been higher this year than ever before.” He called for a more robust vaccination strategy and emphasized the need for a separate task force to carry out vaccinations.<\/p>\n\n <p><span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Riaz<\/span> explained that the current vaccination campaign is being carried out by veterinarians who are also treating infected animals. He added that the use of improper equipment, such as disposable syringes, may contribute to the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n\n <p>In response to the crisis, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Sohail Manzoor<\/span>, additional director of LDD, promised to investigate the situation and take strict action against officials who fail to report FMD cases. He assured that vaccination efforts had been initiated in areas with a history of outbreaks.<\/p>\n\n <p>Despite efforts from both federal and provincial governments, Pakistan continues to struggle with controlling FMD. According to a report by the Punjab Livestock and Dairy Development (LDD), FMD causes losses of <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">$6-8 billion<\/span> annually in the livestock sector. The disease also presents a major barrier to the export of Pakistani meat to international markets.<\/p>\n\n <p>To combat FMD, the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Centre in Lahore produces 10 million doses of vaccine annually. However, demand far exceeds this supply, with more than 80 million doses needed to protect livestock across the province, according to the LDD.<\/p>\n\n <p>Since 2017, Punjab has employed two vaccination strategies. While southern Punjab has received extensive vaccination efforts to become a disease-free zone, FMD outbreaks have persisted, and the current outbreak began in southern districts.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foot-and-mouth disease ravages herds in Chakwal CHAKWAL: Rizwan Abid, a dairy farmer, was visibly distressed as he struggled to lift his prized bull, which was suffering from foot-and-mouth disease.

The disease, a highly contagious viral infection, has been spreading across Punjab for the past two months, causing significant losses to local farmers, just ahead of the <strong>Eidul Azha<\/strong> festival.<\/p>\n\n <p>\u201cI\u2019ve lost a cow and four calves to this disease, and now my bull is fighting for his life,\u201d said Mr. Abid. His farm, located on the outskirts of Chakwal, houses 13 animals, including cows and buffaloes. Mr. Abid noted that no government veterinarian had visited his farm for vaccination, despite the outbreak.<\/p>\n\n <p>The Chakwal livestock department remains unaware of the full scale of the situation. \u201cOnly one case has been reported from Tamman village in Talagang, affecting 15 animals,\u201d stated Additional Director <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Sohail Manzoor<\/span>. However, investigations by <em>Dawn<\/em> revealed that nearly every village in the region is affected by FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>In Murid village, dairy farmer <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Jaffar Abbas<\/span> lost two cows and four calves. \u201cThe financial loss is immense; two of my cows were valued at Rs 1 million,\u201d Abbas shared. His neighbor, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Ahmed Khan<\/span>, was also struggling to treat his cow, which had developed blisters on its tongue and was refusing to eat or drink.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"ad-container\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vetnewsandviews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FMD-1024x1024.avif\" alt=\"Foot and Mouth Disease Advertisement\" class=\"post-image\">\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Despite the proximity to the livestock department\u2019s office, the cattle pen of <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Qazi Farooq<\/span> has seen seven animals succumb to the disease. Additionally, eight of the 24 animals owned by Ashir Ali have fallen ill due to FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>In Dhakku village, Aftab Ahmed\u2019s herd of goats and sheep has been significantly impacted by the disease, while his five cows are still recovering. In Dhudial, dairy farmer Syed Asad Abbas lost a heifer, and Mohammad Arif in Murid village lost three calves.<\/p>\n\n <div style=\"background-color: #FFFF99; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #FFD700; margin: 20px 0;\">\n <h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">IMPORTANT NOTICE<\/h2>\n <p style=\"text-align: center; color: #FF5733;\">This disease is causing severe financial hardship in the cattle farming community. Farmers are urged to report any cases of FMD and take all necessary precautions to prevent further outbreaks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Last week, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Mehran Aziz<\/span> took his sacrificial bull to the market, expecting a price of Rs 350,000, but had to bring it back when it failed to fetch the desired price. A few days later, the bull contracted FMD.<\/p>\n\n <p>Meanwhile, cows that survived the disease are still facing the aftermath. “One cow, which was producing 20 liters of milk daily, is now only producing 3 to 4 liters. There is also concern that pregnant cows may abort, while lactating cows may fail to return to their estrus cycle,” a veterinarian explained.<\/p>\n\n <p>Former livestock deputy director <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Muhammad Riaz<\/span> reported attending over 150 FMD cases in the last month. He stated, “The disease remains a severe issue in many villages, and the mortality rate has been higher this year than ever before.” He called for a more robust vaccination strategy and emphasized the need for a separate task force to carry out vaccinations.<\/p>\n\n <p><span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Riaz<\/span> explained that the current vaccination campaign is being carried out by veterinarians who are also treating infected animals. He added that the use of improper equipment, such as disposable syringes, may contribute to the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n\n <p>In response to the crisis, <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Sohail Manzoor<\/span>, additional director of LDD, promised to investigate the situation and take strict action against officials who fail to report FMD cases. He assured that vaccination efforts had been initiated in areas with a history of outbreaks.<\/p>\n\n <p>Despite efforts from both federal and provincial governments, Pakistan continues to struggle with controlling FMD. According to a report by the Punjab Livestock and Dairy Development (LDD), FMD causes losses of <span style=\"color: #FF5733; font-weight: bold;\">$6-8 billion<\/span> annually in the livestock sector. The disease also presents a major barrier to the export of Pakistani meat to international markets.<\/p>\n\n <p>To combat FMD, the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research Centre in Lahore produces 10 million doses of vaccine annually. However, demand far exceeds this supply, with more than 80 million doses needed to protect livestock across the province, according to the LDD.<\/p>\n\n <p>Since 2017, Punjab has employed two vaccination strategies. While southern Punjab has received extensive vaccination efforts to become a disease-free zone, FMD outbreaks have persisted, and the current outbreak began in southern districts.<\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foot-and-mouth disease ravages herds in Chakwal CHAKWAL: Rizwan Abid, a dairy farmer, was visibly distressed as he struggled to lift his prized bull, which was suffering from foot-and-mouth disease.
