Based on the risks and high transmissibility of FMD and the subsequent threat to livestock health and safety, the Green Plus PharmuCare ViroGuardia has developed a new formulation to treat and halt this disease. This formulation incorporates not only plant-based ingredients but also non-toxic and safe chemicals to enhance performance, increase efficacy, and accelerate the healing of the disease. The inclusion of plant extracts such as myrtle, thyme, mint, and echinacea, combined with hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver, has resulted in significant features such as improved antimicrobial activity, enhanced anti-inflammatory effects, better soothing capabilities, superior antioxidant properties, and faster healing.
* The percentage of hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver used in this formula falls within the permissible limits approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
Spray the solution on the wounds in the oral cavity of the livestock three times a day until complete healing occurs.
Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. It is caused by the Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus (FMDV), which belongs to the Picornaviridae family. Here are some key points describing how FMD effects on livestock:
- High Contagiousness: FMD is extremely contagious, capable of spreading rapidly within and between herds. The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals and indirectly via contaminated objects, clothing, equipment, and even through aerosols over significant distances.
- Wide Host Range: The disease affects several species of cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats, leading to widespread outbreaks. This broad host range enhances the potential for rapid transmission.
- Economic Impact: FMD can significantly affect livestock industry due to loss of livestock, highly costs associated with treatment, and decreased milk and meat production.
- Rapid Onset of Symptoms: Infected animals can exhibit clinical signs within a few days of exposure (typically 2 to 14 days), which can lead to unnoticed spread before the signs become evident. Symptoms include fever, excessive salivation, lameness, reduced appetite and weight loss, and the development of painful vesicular lesions, all of which can significantly affect animal welfare.
- Zoonotic and Public Health Concerns: While FMD is primarily a disease of animals and not commonly transmitted to humans, its outbreaks can lead to significant public health concerns, including disruptions in food supply and trade, and economic consequences for farmers and the agricultural sector.
