and mouth measures which were applied in 19646, specially, the 
large volume of prophylactic vaccination of animals against 
the disease. 
During the spring and summer of 1966, we were afforded the 
required conditions, for carrying out, more effectively, the 
prophylactic measures and other measures to put an end te the foot 
and mouth epizootic, namely: distribution of live-stock in farms 
(transfer of animals to summer enclosures and pastures); more 
effective disinfection of the barns in farms and summer enclo- 
sures; better adherence to the storage requirements of purulent 
Substance and its biothermal disinfection to remove the foot and 
movth virus, stricter maintenance of the quarantine measures, 
which also include a quarantine (according to the location of the 
animals) for the cattle-breedors. 
These factors, along with the prophylectic vaccination of 
animals against the foot and mouth virus, diseussed above, were 
of a great value in the effort to prevent the further spread and 
development of the foot and mouth epizootic, 
For the anti-foct and mouth vaccination, aluminum hydroxide 
fromol vaccine from the lepinized A,, virus was utilized. 
In 1966, 27122 thousand of large cattle, 192 thousand of 
pigs and more than 600 thousand heads of sheep and coats were 
vaccinated in the Ukrainian SSR.
