FMD S. Korea Outbreak Information Page

Areas in South Korea are experiencing outbreaks of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), a serious and highly contagious viral disease of cattle, swine, sheep and other cloven-hooved animals.

It is of great concern worldwide that the outbreaks do not spread to uninfected areas and countries.

HDOA will post information for producers on this website, including news articles and alerts from the affected areas, USDA and other sources.
