After the outbreak in the Ivanovo region began mass vaccination of cattle

Foci of a particularly dangerous disease of cattle - contagious nodular dermatitis (ZUD) - have been identified in Lezhnevsky and Teykovsky districts. Veterinary Service of Ivanovo region initiated a large-scale campaign for immunization of livestock.

In July, the first focus of the disease was detected in the Lezhnevsky district. And in early August, a second focus was discovered in the Teykovo district.

Quarantine measures have been introduced in these territories in accordance with federal legislation. They remain until the threat is completely eliminated.

According to the regional veterinary department, vaccination against ZUD is carried out at the expense of budget funds in all categories of farms, including personal subsidiary. The agro-enterprises themselves have been transferred to a closed mode of operation to minimize the risks of introducing infection from the outside.

By the way, contagious nodule dermatitis does not pose a danger to humans, but it causes enormous economic damage. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, the diseased livestock is subject to destruction.

For example, in the summer of this year alone, more than 200 cattle heads were eliminated due to outbreaks of diseases in various regions.
