There is a critical need to enhance #AnimalDisease prevention to break the transmission cycle to human populations.
The #MedicalCountermeasures Strategy should have a clearly defined One Health approach, addressing the root causes of zoonotic diseases.

Davy Liger from FR Perm Rep says the best way to manage an #AnimalDisease outbreak is to PREVENT the outbreak before it happens.
And Borbala Bende from HU Perm Rep highlights the recent call in #AGRIFISH for the Commission to promote #Vaccination to combat animal diseases.

At @euractiv #AgriFood Conference today Commissioner @christophehansen.bsky.social opens the event saying:
« #AnimalDisease outbreaks are a major challenge for farmers, and it’s clear the #CAP cannot cover all the challenges farmers have to face. »

➡️This is why we need a vaccination policy.

Great week at the WOAH General Session!

💉 With #AnimalDisease outbreaks increasing in Europe, the need for proactive, sustainable solutions for disease preparedness and prevention is now more urgent than ever.

With the #CAPsimplification package, EU farmers affected by #AnimalDisease have better support thanks to new crisis payments available under #CAP Strategic Plans

✅This is important
⚠️BUT we need more disease risk reduction, prevention & preparedness too!

Why a timely animal vaccination strategy matters now more than ever Roxane Feller, Secretary General of AnimalhealthEurope, is calling for an urgent revision to Europe’s approach to animal disease prevention.

In the increasingly complicated environment of #AnimalDisease control, Europe is facing a watershed moment.

A co-ordinated, forward-thinking #Vaccination policy... is critical for public health, food security, and economic stability.

Govt warns against lumpy skin disease in Oshikoto cattle The Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) in the Oshikoto region has reported that two head of cattle are affected by lumpy skin disease on a daily basis, with 561 currently critically affected. The directorate’s head, Junior Paulus, says the disease was first detected on 18 November 2024 in the Nehale Lyampingana constituency. Paulus says 46 deaths were recorded in January 2025 alone. “The affected constituencies are Nehale Lyampingana, Okankolo, Eengodi, Olukonda, Oniipa, Onyaanya, Onayena, Omuthiya and Omuntele,” he says. Paulus says 12 543 cattle have been vaccinated and 509 farmers in the region have been educated. “We have managed to treat more than 500 infected cattle,” he says. The DVS head says the directorate has distributed medicine to more than 120 farmers to control biting insects that spread the disease. It is also busy vaccinating animals against lung sickness. Mangetti Farmers’ Association chairperson Bro-Matthew Shinguadja says the association is currently in the process of vaccinating cattle. “The disease is countrywide, so we are waiting for the government to intervene,” he says. He says the association has encouraged its farmers to buy the vaccine and vaccinate their cattle. “Farmers should take the official information rather than fake information in regard to the vaccination of the animals,” he says. Shinguadja says farmers can get expert information from private animal doctors and Agra. The post Govt warns against lumpy skin disease in Oshikoto cattle appeared first on The Namibian.
