The confirmation of the <\/span>first outbreak of Contagious Nodular Dermatosis (CND)<\/b> in Spain, detected in a bovine farm in Castell\u00f3 d'Emp\u00faries (Girona), has been an important warning for the whole livestock sector (source: <\/span>Animal's Health<\/span><\/a>) . The disease, which was already present in neighbouring countries such as France and Italy, has activated the European contingency plan, and the Catalan government has immobilised more than 800 livestock farms and 93,000 animals in a radius of 50 kilometres around the affected farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Immediate measures and restriction zones\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to information published by <\/span>Galician countryside<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Ministry of Agriculture<\/span><\/a>, The reaction was immediate. An emergency zone was declared. <\/span>50 km containment<\/b>, consisting of a 20 km protection zone (minimum 28 days) and an additional 30 km surveillance zone, which will be maintained for at least a further 17 days. In this <\/span>perimeter has been ordered to be immobilised<\/b> of cattle, except for consignments for slaughter, and systematic clinical inspections at farm level have been initiated.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the affected farm - a feedlot with 123 calves - sanitary emptying has already been carried out, with the removal of animals, manure, feed, milk, hides and skins and any related products. In addition, it has been <\/span>cleaned and disinfected<\/b> of all facilities, vehicles and materials, under strict control of inputs and outputs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Regional Minister for Agriculture, \u00d3scar Ordeig, highlighted the professionalism of the affected farm and the rapid coordination between the veterinary services, underlining that this is a <\/span>animal health disease<\/b> that <\/span>does not affect people<\/b>, The EU's trade policy is not a \"free trade agreement\", but it can have serious economic consequences due to trade restrictions and the possible temporary blocking of exports.<\/span><\/p>\n

A threat that reinforces the need for biosecurity\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>outbreak <\/b>in the Alt Empord\u00e0 is a reminder that diseases can appear even in areas with high sanitary standards. In this case, the <\/span>virus is transmitted <\/b>mainly because of <\/span>insect bites<\/b> (mosquitoes, flies, horseflies or ticks) and also by <\/span>contaminated tools or materials <\/b>-vehicles, equipment or materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the authorities have insisted on the need to reinforce biosecurity measures in all livestock farms, especially in access control and disinfection of vehicles and persons entering or leaving the farm.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where Porinox offers professional solutions specifically designed to prevent this type of risk.<\/span><\/p>\n
