Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) has become a major animal health crisis in South Africa. In the last year, the outbreak of this disease has spread across multiple provinces throughout the country. These outbreaks have caused many farmers to stress about their wildlife, livestock, and what the future might look like for their farming operations.

The current FMD outbreak poses a serious threat to game ranching, especially the disease-free buffalo sector. South Africa has 3,225 registered disease-free buffalo ranches, of which 51% are in the Limpopo Province, supporting over 75,000 buffalo worth around R16 billion.
