According to animal husbandry experts, vaccination is the most effective measure to protect against the Lumpy virus. They have appealed to all cattle owners to ensure that their healthy livestock are vaccinated on time.
Recognizing the symptoms of the disease is crucial. Experts have noted that if cattle show signs such as high fever, skin nodules, or a decrease in milk production, a veterinarian should be contacted immediately.
