The post-vaccinal effects of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) formalin inactivated, aluminium hydroxide gel adsorbed, saponified vaccine was studied in a herd of 48 Jersey and Red Dane cows in an organised dairy farm in Assam. The vaccine caused local tissue reaction of mild to severe in intensity at the inoculation sites which lasted for a period of about 2 to 3 weeks. A few of the vaccinated animals revealed hypersensitive reactions characterised by large, heavy oedematous swelling at the site of inoculation. Vaccination did not affect the normal body temperature and no disturbances in pregnancy was observed in any of the pregnant cows following vaccination. A slight reduction in milk yield was observed in the vaccinated cows which continued for a period of 4 to 5 days. The total loss in milk yield ranged from 4.25 per cent to 8.5 per cent with an average daily loss of about 6.0 per cent of the total yield.
