Punjab Government’s FMD Vaccination Campaign to Protect Livestock in 2025
To safeguard livestock farmers from heavy economic losses, the Punjab Government has launched a large-scale vaccination and awareness drive against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). This program aims to ensure healthy cattle, increased milk/meat production, and export-quality livestock through preventive care.
