The Department of Livestock Development is seeking a vaccine for a lumpy skin disease found spreading across the kingdom s cattle population, said Sorravis Thaneto, director-general of the department.
Mr Sorravis said the department is contacting vaccine makers overseas to buy doses and import them into the country.
The disease is spreading among cattle pens in 18 provinces in the Northeast, the Central Plains region and the North, such as Kalasin, Roi Et, Nakhon Phanom, Maha Sarakham, Khon Kaen, Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Pathom and Chiang Rai.
Department officials first detected the disease in Don Daeng village in Roi Et s Phanom Phrai district last month, and the finding was reported to the World Organization for Animal Health on April 9, Mr Sorravis said.
