Foot-and-mouth disease spreads to cattle farm
The foot-and-mouth disease continues to spread in northwest Hungary, with a new case detected at a cattle farm in Levél, a village in Győr-Moson-Sopron county.
All 2,300 animals at the farm must now be culled.
The infection first emerged three weeks ago in Kisbajcs, a village 50km away.
Cases were also confirmed across the Danube in nearby Slovakia last week, affecting three farms.
Hungary’s chief veterinarian has ordered a livestock census in all villages within the protection and observation zones, covering pigs, cattle, sheep, and goats.
The measures have since been tightened, requiring backyard farmers in affected areas to slaughter their animals by March 31.
