Veterinary Services Suspend Operations of 11 Livestock Farms in Perga

The Veterinary Services have decided to suspend the operation of 11 livestock farms in Perga, investigating possible violations of legislation. At the same time, efforts are being made to prevent the transfer of milk from 13 farms operating in the Dead Zone and the British Bases to dairies in the free areas. The decision concerns eight cattle farms and three sheep farms that previously supplied three dairies. To date, 29,731 animals have been culled, while the infected herds amount to 49, of which 46 are in Larnaca and 3 in Nicosia. The culling of an additional 240 sheep and goats and 150 cattle is expected today.
