South Korea to vaccinate all cattle against foot-and-mouth diseaseSouth Korea's agriculture ministry said on Tuesday it will carry out a nationwide vaccination for cattle against foot-and-mouth disease by Thursday in an attempt to prevent further spread of the virus. A second case was confirmed at a cattle farm later the same day, and 243 cattle on the two farms were culled. The vaccination of all the country's 3.14 million cattle is expected to cost about 5.3 billion won ($4.6 million), the ministry statement said. South Korea also imposed a temporary nationwide livestock movement control order for 30 hours, which will end at 1500 GMT on Tuesday. This is the third time for South Korea to see both bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease occurring simultaneously.
