The North Dakota Department of Agriculture is urging farmers and ranchers to vaccinate their livestock against anthrax. State Veterinarian Ethan Andress said conditions are ripe for the disease. “In places where anthrax has been in the past, vaccination is recommended.” It is not easy to pinpoint when and where anthrax will occur so keeping up with vaccinations is important. The vaccinations can help prevent and slow the spread of the disease. Visit the North Dakota Department of Agriculture’s website for more information regarding anthrax.
