[QUOTE="andybob, post: 766274, member: 2703"] It is common practice to quarentine, and vaccinate cattle infected with Foot and Mouth virus in the Southern African Territories, pigs are however slaughtered, and dairy cows usually culled as they do not recover their full production after recovering. The native breeds recover fully, but exotics often suffer long term side effects, in areas wher F+M is endemic, only native breeds are kept, and no export of beef is allowed from these "red line" regeons. My herd was exposed in 1978, including a consignment due to be exported to Namibia, the herd was vaccinated with SAT 2 and SAT3 strains, and when the quarenteen was lifted, the export heifers were further quarentined at the Kempton Park centre in South Africa, before consignment to Namibia. Are your cattle native or exotic? which strains of F+M are endemic to your area? Contacting the Onderstepoort research centre, University of Pretoria, South Africa would be a good start in identifying the symptoms, they have worked with centres in Botswana and Zimbabwe for over 30 years in disease controll, especially F+M for which the vaccines were developed in a program between Zimbabwe, Botswana and France in the 70's.
