Although there were no new cases added in eight provinces, there were still 124,000 cases of foot and mouth disease in resident livestock.

Only with patience, farmers are able to heal their sick cows. Farmers are taking care of cows that are infected by foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) like their own children.

The document received by Kompas also contains a collection of photos of sick pigs with clinical symptoms of FMD. From the photos, it can be seen that the pig under study had sores in the foot and mouth.

Of the 19 provinces and 216 regencies and cities with FMD outbreaks, East Java and Central Java were the two provinces with the highest confirmed percentage of regencies and cities affected, which was 100 percent.

Cattle husbandry entrepreneurs have difficulty getting stock of sacrificial cows due to an epidemic of mouth and hoof disease. As a result, the price of sacrificial cattle has become unstable and is even rising sharply.
