The Milk Producers Organisation (MPO) in South Africa’s (SA) Western Cape Province says a suspected case of foot-and-mouth disease in a dairy herd in the Mossel Bay area, has been brought to their attention.
In a statement, the MPO said further information will be communicated as soon as there are any developments or confirmation.
The organisation has made an appeal to tighten and strictly apply bio-security measures.
This means restricting movement of animals and vehicles, ensuring proper disinfection of equipment and vehicles and not allowing unauthorised persons access to farms.
