Greece Battles ‘Goat Plague’ with New Livestock Restrictions
Greece has imposed new restrictions to address an outbreak of the so-called ‘goat plague.’ This disease, affecting goat herds across the country, has led to urgent government action.
The outbreak has caused significant losses for goat farmers. Infected goats exhibit high fever, lameness, and skin lesions. The disease’s highly contagious nature has raised concerns about its potential economic impact on agriculture.
In response, the government has implemented several measures. Authorities are quarantining affected areas and restricting livestock movement. The Ministry of Rural Development and Food is collaborating with veterinarians to monitor and manage the situation effectively.
Farmers are facing challenges due to these restrictions. To support them, the government is providing financial aid and veterinary services. Authorities are also investigating the disease’s origin and evaluating the risk of future outbreaks.
International agricultural and veterinary organizations are involved in the response. Experts are working with Greek authorities to control the outbreak and prevent similar incidents in the future.
