Fajarasia.co – The Coordinator of the Expert Team of the Oral and Nail Diseases Handling Task Force (PMK) Wiku Adisasmito asked the local government to ensure that FMD cases are included in the iSIKHNAS system, or the National Animal Health Information System.
“For local governments, I advise first to ensure that the input data on cases of PMK and the number of hoofed animals, namely cows, buffalo, sheep, goats and pigs, are properly inputted into the iSIKHNAS system,” said Wiku in a release received Friday (8/8). 7/2022).
In addition, Wiku asked the Regional Government to ensure the availability of supporting logistics such as completely starting from antibiotics, vitamins, antipyretics and disinfectants for livestock.
The third is to ensure that there is an adequate number of vaccines for the prevention of FMD transmission, and that vaccinations are carried out according to the target.
Not only that, the local government is also asked to ensure that funding sources have been budgeted to support the availability of logistics, operational costs, officers and compensation for people who experience losses due to livestock that are required to be slaughtered or destroyed.
“The fifth is conducting training and checking clinical symptoms, cleaning through disinfection or decontamination, conducting testing and vaccination as a form of empowerment through Babinsa and Babinkamtibmas with veterinarians or local veterinary authorities,” said Wiku.
Wiku emphasized that efforts to handle PMK are a shared responsibility. “If it is not handled immediately, it will have an impact on economic instability and the distribution of food and livestock derivative products nationally,” he said.****
