FMD recovery: The role of targeted nutritional rehabilitation in clinical outcomes

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is more than a viral outbreak — the systemic effects of suppressed feed intake can drive rapid deterioration in affected animals. Veterinary intervention that prioritises early nutritional rehabilitation, including rumen restoration, trace mineral support, and antioxidants, can stabilise metabolism, enhance immune function, and accelerate recovery, ultimately improving survival, productivity, and long-term animal welfare.
