Ukraine has been named as one of the world’s safest countries in livestock disease terms by the International Epizootic Organisation.

The accolade was awarded during the 70th session of the organisation’s International Committee. S. Ryzhouk, minister of agrarian policy, applauded the country’s new found status, confirming that Ukraine had been free from foot-and-mouth disease for eight years and was still not required to vaccinate.
