[Livestock Farming & Fisheries Newspaper=Reporter Kim Sinji] With no cases of lumpy skin disease last year, from this year, autonomous vaccination has become possible for most farms except for some small farms in high-risk areas. In response, the Korea Dairy Beef Association (President Lee Seung-ho, hereinafter referred to as the Beef Association) expressed its welcome on December 31 last year and emphasized the importance of allowing farms to participate in barrier prevention by themselves. Lumpy skin disease first occurred domestically in October 2023, and a total of 24 cases were confirmed in 2024. To prevent its spread, the government made vaccination mandatory, but some farms have reported a decrease in milk yield in dairy cows and calf miscarriages after vaccination.
