New Zealand Farmers are Vigilant to Keep FMD Out of the Country

In W30, Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and African Swine Fever (ASF) were found in Chinese pork in Australia, and FMD was found in Indonesian beef. New Zealand farmers tighten their bio-security measures and record their livestock movements to prevent the arrival of the disease to New Zealand. The risk of New Zealand getting the virus is low, but producers are on high alert to prevent the spread of the disease on their farms.
