Biosecurity alone is not enough to protect our wildlife from Foot and Mouth Disease 🦠 infection but it’s all we have right now…

… until the state WAKES UP to the fact that buffalo CAN and SHOULD be vaccinated, so the nation can return to FMD-free status.

Vaccinate before it’s too late… 🙏🏼Biosecurity alone cannot save our 🦠 disease-free buffalo 🐃

Our Free State disease-free wildlife and especially buffalo 🐃 are in desperate need of attention too…

If our biosecurity measures fail, their value and health are compromised and they pose risks for our livestock-farming neighbours.

“𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝.”🐄🐑

Behind every herd is a family. Behind every farm is a lifetime of work.
The Foot-and-mouth declaration must now translate into action — vaccines delivered, roles clarified and real support provided.

Free State Agriculture will continue to push for urgent, affordable access to vaccines — because our cannot afford to wait!
