OIE has recently declared a foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Morocco<\/a>. It is thus necessary to remain alert to the possible appearance of FMD lesions at the slaughterhouses. In this post a few FMD lesions are reviewed.<\/p>\n

Cattle are the species with the most conspicuous lesions, the disease, however, can involve any cloven-hoofed animals (cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs…). Suspected lesions must be compulsory reported to the authorities.<\/p>\n

Shivering<\/p>\n

Slobbering<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ovine<\/strong><\/td>\nSheep rarely develop mouth blisters as a result of foot and mouth disease: lameness is the main sign of the disease.<\/p>\n

Blisters on the hoof are more common. In either location the blisters tend to be very small and hard to spot.<\/td>\n

Lameness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Porcine<\/strong><\/td>\nPigs rarely develop mouth blisters as a result of foot and mouth disease: lameness is the main sign of the disease.<\/p>\n

When blisters appear they can be found at the\u00a0upper edge of the hoof where the skin and horn meet, on the tongue and on the snout.<\/p>\n

The lesions are indistinguishable from swine vesicular disease.<\/td>\n
