As a prophylaxis against the FPooteandeMouth Disease, 
specially to prevent the death of the younger cattle during all 
the cases of epizootic, the use of the reconvalesent blood 
serum and blood taken from the hyper-immunized animals played a 
very important part. Onlyin 1965 + 1966, in 13 regions of the 
Republic, 1423.6 thousand liters of serum had been manufactured 
and more than 80 thousand heads of animals were immunized. This 
has also played an important part in the fact that during this 
@pizootic a very small number of animals lost their lives. 
The number of animals that had developed the Footeand- 
Mouth Disease during the posteepizootic period and caused by the 
Ae22 type of virus, was recorded in edd cases, both, among the 
non-vaccinated as well as the vaccinated herds of cattle. 
In a few cases, some decrease in the appetite, slight 
appearance of saliva, increase of the body temperAture up to 
~ 40.5°C was observed in some animals, Small quantities of 
apathae were observed in the mucous membrane of the mouth, 
specially in the suckling animals. In the greater number of the 
large cattle, that developed the Foot-and-Nouth Disease, aphthae 
were not observed, because the period between the formation of 
the aphtha and its disappearance was very short. 
The animals, as a rule, recovered after 3 to 4 days and 
less of the younger animals was almost nil.
