Castilla y León Extends Livestock Fair Suspension to Nov. 30 to Contain Nodular Dermatosis

Officials say the move responds to a Girona‑centered outbreak with 18 detected foci.

Overview

  • The regional resolution, published in the official bulletin, halts fairs, markets, contests and animal gatherings through November 30, with exceptions for events using animals from a single holding and for companion animals.
  • Mandatory disinsection applies to livestock transport vehicles entering the region and before departures from holdings, and the Salamanca National Livestock Market remains closed.
  • Holdings that receive cattle from designated risk areas face official veterinary surveillance, a 21‑day precautionary immobilization of all bovines on the farm, and disinsection of the animals.
  • Galicia previously shut livestock markets from October 27 and suspended events initially until November 16, and A Estrada’s horse society postponed the Feira da San Martiño to November 30.
  • Regional leaders voiced support for the extension as farmer groups push for tighter import controls and meet in Tamames to seek practical measures, while authorities reiterate that the virus affects cattle and poses no risk to humans.
