The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development, alongside the Food and Veterinary Agency, has issued a statement concerning the handling of infectious animal disease outbreaks, particularly Brucelosis and Tuberculosis. The announcement details the initial confirmed case, detected on March 3, 2026, in a farmer residing in the village of Lubishte, within the Viti Municipality. Following established legal frameworks and pertinent administrative directives, the Food and Veterinary Agency (FV) is proceeding within the stipulated timeframe for enacting necessary protocols.
This includes the implementation of measures designed to address the situation, notably the process of euthanizing animals affected by the disease. Legally, the elimination of confirmed animals suffering from these illnesses must occur within a maximum period of 30 days from the date of confirmation. This procedure is a standard requirement for managing such a case.
