Six Disinfection Tanks in Troulloi for Foot-and-Mouth Disease “Chain Reactions in Milk and Meat”

Roads leading to livestock farms in Troulloi have been closed, and each farm is taking its own biosecurity measures against the foot-and-mouth disease virus. The construction of six tire disinfection tanks is planned, at a cost of approximately 30-35 thousand euros. Strong concern is expressed about the impact on milk and meat production. A farmer disputes a positive case, requesting a second sample and written confirmation. In Athienou, measures have been taken, such as vehicle spraying and restricting access to farms. The area has approximately 15,000 cows and 15,000 sheep and goats on 27 farms.
