The South African Meat Industries Company (SAMIC) has advised of a suspected outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in neighbouring Mozambique.

Twenty suspect cattle have been identified on grazing land shared by three villages in the district of Manhiça, in the country’s Maputo province. As well as placing Manhiça under quarantine, the authorities have begun vaccinating all cattle in the district and stepped up their surveillance efforts.
