(Baonghean.vn) - Due to the remote terrain, 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 buffalo and cows of the people in the highlands are grazed in 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
Recently, cattle and buffalo in some villages of Bao Nam commune (Ky Son) have been showing signs of poor appetite, foaming mouths, and falling off hooves. In just a few days, this disease has spread rapidly, threatening the livestock. Photo: Minh Khue

According to the people's "secret", the leaves used to treat foot and mouth disease must be sour, the more sour the leaves, the faster the disease will be cured. It is best to use river leaves because these leaves are both sour and non-toxic. Photo: Minh Khue
If you don't have river leaves, you can use small fruits with a layer of salt on the outside. Photo: Minh Khue

This water is partly for drinking by buffaloes and cows, and partly for washing sores and scabies. 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 treatment that is highly effective, but during the treatment, it is necessary to combine it with measures to disinfect barns.
