Pirbright calculates impact of foot-and-mouth disease control in Mongolia
Posted: 5 May, 2020
Researchers at The Pirbright Institute have collaborated with State Central Veterinary Laboratories (SCVL) and the General Agency for Veterinary Services (GAVS) in Mongolia to assess the impact of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) control methods employed during the 2017 outbreaks. The team found many nomadic herders were unable to maintain their food supply and financial stability, and used these findings to recommend policy changes that could improve wellbeing and economic security among herders.
