The Agriculture Ministry has launched an official website dedicated to foot‑and‑mouth disease, aiming to provide a central source of information for affected livestock farmers, producers and the wider public.

The site offers details on the disease, current control measures, biosecurity guidelines and contact numbers for immediate reporting or assistance.

It also includes information on compensation schemes, support for affected farmers, and procedures for restarting operations and rebuilding herds.

Members of the public can also access explanatory material, including frequently asked questions, relevant decrees, the national response plan and the legal framework governing disease management.

The ministry said the website will be updated continuously as the epidemiological situation evolves.
