Abstract: The highly contagious and debilitating Foot and Mouth disease in cloven-footed animals results in significant economic losses due to reduced animal productivity. The international market for animal products from countries with FMD infection is closed. The disease cannot be controlled only through vaccination. But implementing strict biosecurity measures, prophylactic measures and early treatment, along with continued surveillance, monitoring to curtail this disease, efforts are ways to bring the disease under control.
