Foot and Mouth Disease: Reports of Removal of Dead Animals Without Safety Measures - 'Leaks are Running' (VIDEO)

The operation to remove dead animals in Oroklini is underway, as the transmission of foot and mouth disease appears to be spreading to the free areas. Livestock farmers express serious concerns about the lack of biosecurity measures during the removal process, arguing that there is a risk of further spread of the virus. They report that the transport of dead animals is being carried out without the necessary precautions, resulting in liquids leaking from the vehicles, increasing the risk of infection of other farms. Producers emphasize the need for stricter adherence to safety protocols, given the high transmissibility of foot and mouth disease, which can spread even by air over a large radius.
