Foot-and-Mouth Disease Alert in Dromolaxia – First Case Confirmed

The first case of foot-and-mouth disease has been detected in a cattle unit in Dromolaxia, near the border of the infected zone. The Veterinary Services immediately proceeded with the culling of approximately 500 cattle on the farm as a measure to control the spread of the disease. Sampling of animals in other provinces continues to identify potential new cases. The Veterinary Services urge farmers and the public to strictly adhere to preventive measures and avoid approaching livestock farms. In addition, a ban has been imposed on dog training in the infected areas.
