Overview
- SENASA reported that since August about 147,500 bovines and bubalinos have been moved in 7,448 formal transfers, a 102% rise versus the same period in 2025.
- Movements have concentrated in Corrientes, Chaco, Entre Ríos, Santa Fe and island zones of Buenos Aires, where rising Paraná and Uruguay river crests threaten grazing lands.
- To accelerate evacuations the agency fast‑tracked electronic transit documents (DT‑e), eased RENSPA registration and allowed some sanitary checks to be completed after animals reach destination fields.
- SENASA issued practical guidance for producers, including moving animals 24–48 hours before floods when possible, hauling in small groups, marking stock for ID, and pre‑identifying high, safe pastures with water and feed.
- Authorities warned that rapid, large transfers raise risks of leptospirosis, tick‑borne diseases, plant toxicities such as mío‑mío, higher transport and rental costs for pasture, and that reported figures are a partial balance likely to rise as the hydrological situation develops.
