I suspect foot-and-mouth disease or African swine fever in my animals — whom should I contact?

The bodies to contact are of the animal disease control, agricultural administration and veterinary public health institute type. The actual full names of these bodies differ by country and region, so only the type of body is described here, to avoid misleading readers in other regions.

If I do not report, am I only bearing my own losses?

No. Most of these diseases are highly transmissible and can spread rapidly via migratory birds, wildlife, shared equipment, movement of people and vehicles, and the trade and transport of animals. Concealment makes the disease control authorities lose the earliest window for containment, the affected premises and animal numbers may multiply, other keepers in the same region are dragged in, and some of these diseases also carry a zoonotic infection risk.

A group shows mass mortality within a short time, or several animals convulse and develop blisters on the mouth and nose at once — what is the first step?

The first step in every case is to contact a veterinarian and the local animal disease control authority. Do not handle the carcasses yourself, do not bury them yourself, and do not move the animals off the premises, because carcasses and movement are themselves high-risk routes for spreading the pathogen.

This record notes the source location and content hash of "Farm Animals and Horses｜🔴 Supplementary Column B: Notifiable Diseases and Culling Obligations", so the text can be checked against the original.

How to use this record to verify

This record exists so that anyone can check for themselves whether the text has been altered. Every chapter of the veterinary encyclopaedia carries a starting line number and a content hash (the first 16 characters of its SHA-256). Recompute the hash over the original chapter: if it matches the value recorded below, what is published here is identical to the source chapter. The source list at the end is the authoritative material cited by that chapter — a chapter-level correspondence, meaning those sources underpin the chapter as a whole rather than mapping sentence by sentence. This is educational information and cannot replace a practising veterinarian; in an emergency, seek care immediately.

This record notes the source location of "Farm Animals and Horses｜🔴 Supplementary Column B: Notifiable Diseases and Culling Obligations | Evidence chain": the section beginning at line 443 of `27-T8-農場與T9-馬.md` in the veterinary encyclopaedia. The SHA-256 of that section (first 16 characters) is `030e91287ab0af16`, which anyone can recompute to confirm the content has not been altered.
