Foot-and-mouth disease outbreak on Austro-Hungarian border: over 3,000 cattle slaughtered

Despite government promises to provide financial assistance, the mass slaughter of cattle could be disastrous for local farmers. The slaughter and burial of cattle infected with foot-and-mouth disease in Győr-Moson-Sopron County, northeastern Hungary, could take up to ten days. The order to destroy over 3,000 cattle was given by authorities after veterinary authorities confirmed the discovery of another foot-and-mouth disease outbreak on a dairy farm in the region bordering Austria, despite the fact that most of the animals were healthy. Police are ensuring that only a veterinarian and workers are allowed into the infected area.

At the same time, local residents are concerned about groundwater contamination. "We drilled wells and use our own wells. The animals are buried quite close. We are concerned about contamination of the drinking water. It's good that we were promised a running water supply, but we don't want anything to happen before it is installed," says Michal Bakos, who has lived in the village of Chemežtanya since 1959. In the neighboring municipality of Level, several cases of this viral disease of cattle were detected last Wednesday. The owner of the Western Gate cooperative, Paul Meixner, a Hungarian of Austrian origin, has been keeping animals in Level for 30 years. Now his farm is under threat because he will have to slaughter all his cattle, although only 5% of the livestock are infected. Our official website https://2407tv.com/ "This is an EU veterinary regulation and each member state must act in accordance with it. Infected herds must be destroyed to avoid the spread of the virus throughout the country. The foot-and-mouth disease outbreak must remain localized," Paul Meixner explained to Euronews. The mass slaughter of healthy cattle is a difficult ordeal for farmers. "The animals are shot in the head. They are then transported in closed vans to a burial site." An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was previously detected in neighboring Slovakia. At the border crossing in Rajka, all vehicles are disinfected. The farm in Level, where all livestock is to be destroyed, is estimated to suffer losses of 3.7 million euros. Tens of thousands of liters of milk were transported from here every day, so this is a colossal loss of income. The government has promised compensation, but it is not yet clear whether this will be enough to restore business.
