Abstract: Mongolia, bordering Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, has a large number of livestock, and is known as the′Animal Husbandry Kingdom′. Natural grazing is the main type of livestock feeding in Mongolia. Understanding the situation of prevention and control of foot-and-mouth disease in Mongolia can lay the foundation for prevention of foreign animal epidemic diseases invasion as well as for scientific prevent and control of the epidemics in China. We have analyzed the data from the World Organization for Animal Health （OIE） from the year of 2015 to 2020 and the recent materials of foot-and-mouth disease prevention and control in Mongolia, and found that the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic situation in Mongolia has generally increased first and then decreased during the year of 2015 to 2020, and there is no reports of foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in the years of 2019 and 2020. It is indicated that Mongolia has effectively controlled the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in its territory in recent years by improving the relevant laws and regulations for prevention and control of animal epidemic diseases, combing veterinary management systems, and enhancing the laboratory test capabilities. It is recommended that China and Mongolia should strengthen the cooperation in the field of veterinary medicine. On one hand, it can reduce the risks of cross-border transmission of foot-and-mouth disease from the border areas of Mongolia to Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. On the other hand, it can originally control the food safety risks and promote the orderly import of Mongolian beef and mutton to meet the growing demands of the domestic market of China on the premise that the trade is in compliance with the international and domestic rules and regulations.
