Outbreaks of rabies in cattle were recorded in the north (Soroca and Drochia districts), and one outbreak in dogs (Călărași district) in central Moldova. In addition, one outbreak each of avian influenza (in swans) and African swine fever (in domestic pigs) was reported in the Sînjerei and Ungheni districts.
To prevent the spread of avian influenza, the National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) is requiring poultry farmers – both commercial farms and households – to implement a series of safety measures. Specifically: poultry must be kept exclusively within enclosures; free-range grazing is not permitted; feeding must take place only in enclosed premises; poultry must not be allowed access to water bodies accessible to wild birds; the number of staff coming into contact with poultry is restricted; rules on the co-housing of poultry and mammals, as well as rules on the storage and distribution of feed, are being tightened.
The ANSA Agency is urging farmers and the general public to report any cases of illness or death among poultry to the veterinarians at the agency’s regional offices or to local authorities.
