What to do when bitten by an animal?

Abstract

FAO is committed to promote rabies prevention and control. When livestock die from rabies, households may not be able to replace them and lose an important asset for farming and transportation. Livestock become infected with rabies most commonly through dog or wild animal bites (including bats). Overall dogs play a number of important roles in human societies; they are used for hunting, herding livestock and guarding property. While many families keep them as pets, dog-meat is commonly consumed in some countries.
