Movement restrictions on livestock lifted in Ohangwena and Kavango West
Authorities in Namibia have lifted movement restrictions on cloven-hoofed animals in the Ohangwena and Kavango West regions. The measures were initially implemented following a buffalo sighting that raised concerns about Foot-and-Mouth Disease, but subsequent tests confirmed the animal was negative for the virus.
Why it matters
Lifting these restrictions is critical for the local agricultural economy, allowing farmers to resume trade and transport of livestock without fear of disease-related sanctions.
RESTRICTIONS on the movement of cloven-hoofed animals and animal products in certain constituencies in the Ohangwena and Kavango West regions have been lifted with immediate effect.
