LUSAKA, Feb 14 (Xinhua) -- Zambia has suspended all livestock
import permits from South Africa following an outbreak of
foot-and-mouth disease in that country, a Zambian official said
Saturday.
Benny Munyama, principal public relations officer at the
Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, said the Department of
Veterinary Services has suspended the importation of
cloven-hoofed animals from South Africa, as well as feeds,
trophies, skins, hides and hooves.
"Issuance of permits for the importation of cloven-hoofed animal
products from South Africa has been suspended unless strict
mitigation measures are undertaken in accordance with the
conditions provided for in the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of
2025," he said in a statement.
