ANSWER

**THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE**

**(DR. SANJEEV KUMAR  BALYAN)**

1. & (b): Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) is one of the most economically devastating contagious viral animal diseases affecting all susceptible cloven-footed animals. Economic losses are reported on account of occurrence of FMD in cattle and buffaloes including death of animals due to natural calamities. The direct economic losses caused by the disease are mainly due to loss in milk production and draught power and the cost of supportive treatment of affected animals and death of young animals.  State-wise details of reports of incidences of FMD for 2013 and 2014 (January to December) are given at Annexure. However, State-wise details on report of economic losses to cattle farmers due to FMD and natural calamities are not maintained in this Department.

(c ) & (d); No proposal was received from Government of Kerala in this Department on seeking six-month moratorium on repayment for loans borrowed for animal husbandry due to the financial crisis of cattle farmers.
