Veterinary Services Insist on Culling Animals in Affected Farms

The Veterinary Services insist on the necessary culling of animals in livestock farms where cases of foot-and-mouth disease have been identified, emphasizing that no deviation is foreseen from the European and national legal framework. They acknowledge the concerns of farmers, but stress that culling is essential to control the disease. The Veterinary Services have informed farmers about biosecurity measures and the operational plan they are following, in coordination with the European Union. They appeal for strict adherence to measures by all, reminding that foot-and-mouth disease does not transmit to humans.
