The whole series of events was enthusiastically welcomed by the extension participants, as evidenced by the presence of more than 30 participants. The enthusiasm of the community in asking questions is also one of the separate parameters for the success of the FMD counseling event. However, it is also necessary to have direct socialization by going to the field (door to door) so that they can simultaneously see the condition of the livestock.

Follow-up of FMD counseling was carried out by collecting data on the number and health conditions of community livestock in Getasan Village which had been carried out for 2 (two) days, 8-9 August 2022. Data collection on the number and condition of livestock was included in the KKN PPM student assistance program with the village head. Livestock data recorded included split-hoofed livestock, namely pigs, goats, and cows. Data collection on the number and condition of livestock was carried out in 4 banjars, namely Banjar Kauh, Banjar Ubud, Banjar Tengah, and Banjar Buangga. After the data collection, the next plan is the implementation of disinfectants in livestock cages and a vaccination program as a form of follow-up to prevent the spread of FMD (Food and Mouth Diseases).

 

 

 

Livestock data collection activities, spraying disinfectants, and vaccinations will be useful in preventing the transmission of FMD in livestock. In addition, education about the symptoms and dangers of PMK is also given to residents of Getasan Village who have cattle, pigs, and goats. So that the community and breeders in the future are expected to be more alert and ready to deal with the FMD outbreak later.
