Mongolia launches vaccination against sheep, goat plague www.xinhuanet.com
Mongolia started vaccinating small ruminants against Peste des Petits Ruminants, also known as sheep and goat plague, the country's General Authority for Veterinary Services said Tuesday.
The authority said in a statement that "at least 30 million head of small ruminants in central and eastern parts of the country, where outbreaks of the highly contagious animal disease have been reported in recent years, will be vaccinated."
The livestock sector is a main pillar of the Mongolian economy. However, frequent livestock animal disease outbreaks impede the industry.
According to official statistics, the nomadic country had 71.1 million heads of livestock at the end of 2022. Sheep and goats accounted for most livestock at 46 and 38.8 percent, respectively.
