Clinical symptoms in infected cattle include fever and lesions on the lips, tongue and mouth. The emergence of FMD cases, especially in Aceh, has affected the trade in live cattle and goats in Aceh Besar Regency as one of the districts with the largest population of large livestock (cattle) in Aceh Province. The efforts made by the Aceh Besar District government in dealing with the FMD outbreak through implementing policies issued by the central government have been successful in reducing the spread of FMD to the point of zero cases. The research method used was a literature review approach and data observations in 21 sub-districts spread across the Aceh Besar Regency government area as one of the areas most affected by FMD in Aceh Province. This literature study aims to look at the government's role in handling and preventing the spread of livestock foot and mouth diseaseFrom In all this case, 12,180 livestock were successfully recovered, 24 were conditionally slaughtered, and 28 livestock died due to FMD. Aceh Besar Regency has 21 sub-districts affected by the FMD outbreak. Montasik District recorded the highest number of cases, namely 186,754 cases.
