MAYANGAN, Radar Bromo – Livestock deaths due to foot and mouth disease (PMK) in Probolinggo City are increasing. Friday (22/7), a cow in Wonoasih District, Probolinggo City, died. So far, a total of eight cattle have died due to PMK.
The Head of Livestock at the Probolinggo City Agriculture, Food Security and Fisheries Service, Suryanto Suares, said that the case of a cow that died was the same as before. Because the breeder was late in reporting, so when it was handled it was already severe.
He hopes that livestock owners will immediately report if they see any symptoms of PMK on their livestock. By immediately reporting, handling can be done more quickly. Livestock will be easier to cure from the FMD virus.
“In fact, we don’t stop educating livestock owners so that they report immediately so that they can be handled immediately. Because the cattle that died were due to late handling,” he said.
Suryanto explained that although the number of deaths increased, the ratio compared to the number of livestock exposed to FMD was still low. Currently the death rate is only 0.91 percent of the total 881 cases.
However, the cure rate for FMD continues to increase. Yesterday, there were an additional 24 cattle that recovered, bringing the total recovery to 787 cattle with a ratio of 89.33 percent. Meanwhile, there were 83 sick cattle with a ratio of 9.42 percent.
