Veterinary Services Warn of Practices Endangering Livestock Sector

The Veterinary Services of Cyprus express strong concern over unacceptable practices that endanger the livestock sector, amid efforts to contain an outbreak in livestock. Despite the cooperation of the majority of livestock farmers, isolated cases of sabotage, such as obstructing inspections and concealing animals, are undermining the efforts. A specific incident in Livadia, where a farmer obstructed services and revealed a larger number of animals than declared, is under investigation. The services emphasize the need for strict compliance with the legislation and thank other services (Police, National Guard, Game Service, Forestry Department) for their assistance.
