Coverage gap

Herd coverage against the two dose protocol.

First round coverage: share of provincial cattle herd that has received at least one dose.

Dairy industry view

MPO: Dairy herd vaccination and FMD case burden.

Submitted by the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO). Covers dairy cattle only.

Dairy cows vaccinated by province.

Active dairy FMD farms by province.

Farm status over time.

Weekly count of dairy farms with confirmed and active FMD nationally.

Post-vaccination reinfections.

Farms that reported FMD reinfection after receiving vaccine. Clinical signs in reinfected herds have been significantly less severe than pre-vaccination outbreaks — consistent with vaccine protection moderating disease severity.

Industry distribution view

RMIS: Industry vaccine distribution.

Tracked by the Red Meat Industry Service (RMIS). Covers the private industry channel — doses allocated to and distributed by industry across all sectors (feedlot, commercial farms, stud). Complements the state programme doses tracked in the provincial data above. Cumulative from rollout start.

Data notes.

The RMIS industry channel covers vaccine distributed directly to farmers and feedlots through private veterinary practices, separate from state-programme doses administered by provincial veterinary services.

Pork industry view

SAPPO: Pig sector vaccine dispatches.

Submitted by the South African Pork Producers' Organisation (SAPPO). Covers Aftodoll (Dollvet) vaccine dispatched by SAPPO representatives to pig producers across South Africa. Some bottles were also used for cattle on the same farms to reduce cross-species FMD risk — the cattle/pig split is not available at dispatch level. Source: email from Dr Thandi Chiappero, SAPPO Head: Consumer Assurance, 3 June 2026.

Ministerial and ICC update

Updated figures from the Minister of Agriculture and the Industry Coordination Council.

The Foot and Mouth Disease Industry Coordination Council is a task team established by the Minister of Agriculture, so we report Ministerial and ICC updates as a single source.

    Data validation

    Ministerial briefing vs JOC provincial returns.

    Comparing DAFF ministerial figures (4 June 2026) against AgriSA JOC provincial returns (latest available). A positive difference means JOC reports more vaccinations than the ministerial figure — expected given the later date. A negative difference flags a data quality issue for investigation.

    Ministerial figures cover all cloven-hoofed animals. JOC returns may be cattle-only in some provinces — explaining part of the gap.
