Overview
- SADER published a Nov. 6 draft agreement extending the GBG control operation to all states and covering livestock, birds, and companion animals.
- New CZM rules require proof of GBG treatment, application of macrocyclic lactones three to five days before movement, larvicidal bathing, and pre‑movement physical inspections.
- The scope now includes veterinarians and animal importers along with their vehicles, equipment, and containers, and applies to travelers entering Mexico with susceptible animals.
- Movements destined for slaughterhouses are exempt from the stricter mobilization requirements.
- The action follows a meeting between President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, with U.S. officials scheduled to visit SENASICA’s emergency operations and affected farms as a U.S. beef import halt remains in place.
