🚨 Alert: Lumpy Skin Disease — A Growing Threat to Livestock in KP
The increasing risk of Lumpy Skin Disease (L*D) across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, alongside Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), is a serious concern for livestock owners and the wider livestock sector.
For farmers, timely vaccination, proper veterinary care, and regular monitoring are essential to protect animals, reduce the risk of mortality, and minimize production losses.
The growing disease risk also calls for greater caution in livestock insurance and field assessment. Animals located in outbreak-affected or high-risk areas require careful verification of their health status, vaccination history, and identification records. Disease exposure can significantly increase the risk associated with livestock coverage.
🐄 Prevention. Verification. Timely Action.
Together, these are essential to protect livestock, support farmers, and manage risk effectively.
