Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday assured that 100 per cent of animals would be vaccinated against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Brucellosis in India by 2025.
Expressing concern over the loss of livestock due to lumpy skin disease, PM Modi said, “In the recent past, there has been a loss of livestock in many states of India due to the lumpy skin disease. The central government, along with various state governments, is trying to control it. Our scientists have also prepared an indigenous vaccine for lumpy skin disease. We are also increasing its testing.” The Prime Minister, while addressing the World Dairy Summit, said that India is emphasising universal vaccination of animals.
“We are also emphasising universal vaccination of animals. We have resolved that by 2025, we will vaccinate 100 per cent of the animals against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Brucellosis. We are aiming to be completely free from these diseases by the end of this decade,” he said.
The Lumpy disease has been detected only in cows and buffaloes. There is no danger to humans in eating meat or using milk of animals that do not have the symptoms of lumpy. Animals can be cured of lumpy.
