Foot & Mouth Disease Control Programme (FMD‑CP)
A highly contagious vesicular disease of cloven‑hoofed animals (cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs) causing production losses and trade barriers. Control is achieved by repeated mass vaccination of susceptible livestock until incidence declines—paving the way for eradication. Under NADCP, vaccination of all cattle and buffaloes is being implemented with an eradication horizon of 2030.
