“Issuing of permits is not a punishment to farmers but a way of controlling the movement of cattle with the aim of ensuring that they are disease-free,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Schlettwein pointed out the northern area has a population of about 800 000 livestock of which government requires 1.7 million doses of medication to vaccinate the livestock.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moreover, Schlettwein stated that the vaccination cost N$40 per dose and each animal will require two doses of which the first one is only 70% effective and a booster needs to be administered as the last dose.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noted that government will require a total of N$95 million for the fight against FMD.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thus far a total of 36 roadblocks have been created in the north with the purpose of ensuring that cattle movement is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
