Indonesia cow farmers caught off guard as foot and mouth disease re-emerges
Indonesian cattle farmer Dio Nurdin Setiawan, 30, noticed something unusual in one of his cows in early May.

Besides a high fever and a runny nose, it was breathing fast and displayed a lack of appetite. Its saliva was also foamy, said Mr Setiawan, who is based in Gresik, East Java.
Within days, his other cows exhibited the same symptoms, and their hooves started to blister and fester, he told CNA.
Mr Setiawan, who has been a farmer for seven years, has never seen his cattle suffer so much.
“On May 5, officers from the livestock agency came to my farm and found out that all 20 of my cows tested positive for foot and mouth disease (FMD).
“The disease spreads fast, and so after one contracted it, the others in the stall got it too,” he said.
Indonesia was declared free of FMD in 1986, so when officials announced in early May that the contagious disease has spread among cows in East Java, it came as a shock.
Soon after, the authorities said some cows in Aceh also suffered from FMD.
On May 9, President Joko Widodo ordered the agriculture minister to impose a regional lockdown for cows to prevent the disease from spreading to other areas.
