According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Glei District, in 2024, some local livestock were not vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease.

Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Glei District is closely following the epidemic to monitor and guide households to prevent and control the spread of the disease.

People build barns to isolate buffalo and cows to control the spread of disease.

Dak Glei District People's Committee also directed specialized agencies to coordinate with Dak Nhoong and Xop Commune People's Committees to strengthen information and propaganda work, and provide guidance on measures to prevent foot-and-mouth disease... for local people.
