Because it will spread rapidly among animals causing suffering!
It does spread rapidly and cause varying levels of suffering depending on the age and species of the animal effected. However my Farm Welfare lecture told my class last year that having FMD in a population of livestock makes the animals worthless as no one will want to buy them. While a vaccine could be used to inoculate the population it is impossible, when screening animals, to tell the difference between vaccinated animals and those which have survived FMD or have contracted the disease and are no yet showing symptoms. Thus the only way to make the livestock population profitable is to cull any animals with the disease, although it is not always fatal.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if you don't treat foot and mouth disease?
The animal will have lameness, loss of weight, heart problems and perhaps death. The animal can infect other animals.
Can Hand foot and mouth disease transfer to dogs?
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a viral infection that typically affects humans, especially young children. There is no evidence to suggest that it can be transmitted to dogs or other animals. It is important to practice good hygiene such as regular handwashing to prevent the spread of the disease among humans.
What is the role of immunity in disease in animals?
Immunity is the internal protection of an organism from infection with a pathogen. Therefore, immunity (which is typically conferred by the immune system) has the role of protection against disease in animals. However, another aspect of immunity is innate or species-based immunity. This is conferred by the genetics of the species and protects the animal against pathogens that infect other species of animals. For instance, cattle are not susceptible to PRRS virus infection because PRRS is specific for pigs. This is not true of all diseases, however - viruses such as rabies and foot and mouth disease virus can infect multiple species.
Is thrush a contagious or communicable disease?

What Animals Contract Foot-and-Mouth Disease?
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and deer. While it can infect a wide range of species within these groups, it's most economically significant in livestock. The disease is highly contagious and can spread rapidly among herds, leading to severe productivity losses. Additionally, some wildlife species can carry the virus, potentially complicating control efforts.
What are two disease that can be contracted by humans from sheep?
Q fever and scabby mouth
What is one example of a viral disease in animals?
Foot-and-mouth disease. It infects cattle, sheep, and pigs.
Why fmd found in clovenfooted animals?
FMD (foot and mouth disease) is a viral disease of cloven-hooved animals that causes blisters in the mouth and around the coronary band. FMD is found in these animals because the virus is trophic (specific) for the cell markers exhibited on the cells of the mouth and coronary band in cloven-hooved animals.
Why the symptoms of hand foot mouth disease occur in hand foot and mouth?
you may find that animals will have blisters at the mouth and on the hooves
Is the ascaris is endoparasite?
yes, ascaris is endopaarasite .it is depend on host by living inside it .In humans it pass through pulmonary circulation via mouth and then break out the capillaries and cause the diseases.
How do you get foot and mouth?
Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious viral infection that affects cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats. The disease can be transmitted through direct contact with infected animals, contaminated equipment, or through airborne spread. Strict biosecurity measures, vaccination, and quarantine practices are essential in preventing and controlling the spread of foot and mouth disease.
