Food and mouth disease (FMD) and brucellosis are common among livestock, such as cow, bulls, buffaloes, sheep, goats, and pigs. The scheme envisages vaccination coverage for 30 crore bovines (cows-bulls and buffaloes) and 20 crore sheep/goat and 10 million pigs. In the case of brucellosis, the milk output reduces by 30% throughout the animal's life cycle and also causes infertility. Brucellosis infection can also be transmitted to farm workers and livestock owners.
