Authorities of Sukhbaatar and Dornod provinces have quarantined cattle movement and restricted the sale of meat and milk in their territories following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.

According to the emergency commission, over 968 heads of cattle had been infected but death had not been reported yet. The number of infection is likely to grow further.

The problem was detected on August 29 in a farm in Chuluunkhoroot Soum, Dornod Province when a local veterinarian examined three cows showing symptoms of the foot and mouth disease. The central vegetarian laboratory has confirmed that the three cows are infected with the disease.
