Description

On 18 September 1972, Afghanistan expanded its livestock vaccination program to reduce outbreaks among cattle, sheep, and goats. Veterinary teams traveled to remote districts offering free immunizations. Training sessions taught farmers how to recognize early signs of disease. The program helped protect rural livelihoods dependent on livestock. It became a major national effort to strengthen animal health.
