Following the first round of foot-and-mouth disease vaccinations from Jan. 29, the second round of vaccinations will be implemented for all cattle and pigs in Jeju from Feb. 24 to Feb. 26. The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced that 46,700 cattle vaccinations and 509,500 pig vaccinations were ready as of Feb. 23. It added that livestock under 14-days-old are excluded from vaccinations due to the possibility of stress-related mortality. (By Kim Dae Young, Jeju Ilbo reporter. Translated by Kim Jung Lim)
