Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Apparently a concern for dairy farmers ... ... seems to be infection-triggered lameness, from what I could gather.

@ Asker
Plese give more context. I'm assuming now that the header includes animal husbandry that this is about animals? If so, which ones? It looks to me that this is most likely Foot and Mouth disease because it is collocated with "outbreak" but there are other diseases of the foot and leg that affect animals as well. To be certain, we need more context.

NEVER HEARD of "foot and leg disease"

you meant to say "foot and mouth disease"?

That one is of interest primarily in veterinary medicine, not in humane medicine.

your heading says foot and mouth but your question says foot and leg??
Peer comment(s):

agree Daryo : getting the question right would be a good starting point ...

yes indeed. Not even told if it's human (known as "hand foot and mouth disease") or animal!
neutral philgoddard : The question is so confusing and devoid of context that it's impossible to answer, but there are diseases that affect the feet and legs. And the question header says animal husbandry.//Oh, I didn't realise that.

as commented, it's necessary to know if it's human/animal. Header has been changed from "Medical" when I answered (why I thought it might be human). If "animal husbandry" had been there obviously I'd have had no doubt! "outbreak" suggests foot & mouth
agree Edith Kelly : what else, given the scant context.

agree jccantrell : I have heard it called 'hoof and mouth disease will' here in the USA.

Glosopeda or fiebre aftosa

Also called aphthous fever in English.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Yvonne Gallagher : a) It's En > En i.e. wrong pair & your header/links are not in English so wrong b) 100% sure with so litle context? It is usually called Foot and Mouth Disease in English. If Googling aphthous fever you're redirected to Foot & Mouth immediately

Yes, I answered the question as EN>ES, but the answer is not wrong. Your answer is right, of course, but as I explained, it is also called aphtous fever and it is a veterinary desease. So, I do not see the reason for your -1, Yvonne.
