(Baonghean.vn) - Due to the remote terrain conditions, whenever cattle and buffaloes get foot-and-mouth disease, people in the highlands of Nghe An use forest leaves to treat it, with remarkable results.
Watch people pick leaves to cure foot and mouth disease:
Most of the buffaloes and cows of the highland people are grazed in the fields and hills far from home, so timely vaccination is very difficult. Therefore, epidemics easily occur and once infected, the epidemic spreads quickly. Photo: Minh Khue

This water is partly for drinking by buffaloes and cows, and partly used to wash the sores and scabs. Mr. Cut Van May in Huoi Lau village (Bao Nam commune - Ky Son) said that if detected early and treated this way, buffaloes and cows will recover after only 2-3 days, and later after 4-5 days. Talking about this treatment, Mr. Nguyen Cong Hieu - head of the veterinary department of Ky Son district also confirmed: This is a folk remedy that is highly effective, but during the treatment, it is necessary to combine it with measures to disinfect barns.
