Tunisia has launched a new campaign against FMD

Livestock farmers that did not participate in the previous vaccination campaign against bovine foot-and-mouth disease, which was held in February 2018, will be able to participate in the free campaign from this month, Directinfo reports.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries stressed the importance of the campaign after the FMD outbreak that was announced by the Algerian authorities on June 29,2018 to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).

A series of measures have been taken to fight against the spread in Tunisia of this viral disease. Among these measures is the intensification of the veterinary health controls of the livestock throughout the country and at the borders.
