Overview

  • Exports of live bovines, halted nationwide since October 18 to curb DNC, will resume with health certificates issued from November 1.
  • Controls include veterinarian supervision of gathering centers in regulated zones through November 4 and 24-hour notification of all bovine movements through November 16.
  • The restart applies to disease-free areas, while restrictions remain in regulated zones surrounding detected outbreaks.
  • Authorities report 95 outbreaks and more than 2,600 animals culled, with recent growth in the Pyrénées-Orientales and Jura but no new cases outside regulated zones.
  • Industry groups welcome the reopening and seek bilateral agreements with Italy and Spain; manadiers extend herd confinement and end the bull-running season until December 1, as others press for vaccination to avoid mass culls.
