Foot-and-mouth disease significantly reduces milk yield in cattle and buffaloes, making vaccination highly cost-effective.
Ferrari et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Foot-and-mouth disease (n=50). Foot-and-mouth disease vs. Pre-disease baseline was evaluated on Milk yield loss in the 60 days following the onset of clinical signs. Foot-and-mouth disease significantly decreased milk yield over 60 days, causing an estimated loss of 220 liters in cattle and 201 liters in buffaloes.
