FMD in Hungary Following the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease reported in Germany at the beginning of the year, a new outbreak of this disease has just been reported by the Hungarian authorities. It concerns a dairy farm with 1400 cows in the village of KISBAJCS (near the town of GYOR see the map below) in the north of Hungary, 2.5 km from the Slovakian border to the north (Danube river) and 43 km from the Austrian border to the west. Dr Pásztor Szabolcs, CVO of Hungary, has indicated that?the measures provided for by European regulations have been immediately implemented and epidemiological investigations are under way. The greatest vigilance is required throughout the Union because this new case is evidence of a real threat to all European livestock. #FMD #AnimalHealth

First meeting of the Sustainable Livestock Intergroup The meeting organised by the Sustainable Livestock Intergroup of MEPs, which was held on Wednesday 5 March, was a great success. The testimonies and studies presented, as well as the interventions of the Commission and the rapporteurs on the proposal for a new regulation on animal welfare in transport, were very relevant. The high level of participation attests to the interest of this intergroup. Indeed, in the context of preparing the new CAP and developing a vision for the future of European livestock farming, it is essential to have a space for constructive dialogue with stakeholders within Parliament. Thanks to the organisers.

Deze scan maakt gebruik van 4 uiterst gevoelige PCR-testen om de verschillende infectieuze oorzaken van NKD te identificeren. Bovendien kan op verzoek van de dierenarts een pathotypering worden uitgevoerd. ??
