The Ministry of Agriculture yesterday announced outbreaks of Asian Type I
foot-and-mouth disease in Hubei and Gansu provinces.
The outbreaks have been restrained to a village in Hubei's Changyang County
in central 皇冠体育app and another in Jiayuguan City of the northwestern Gansu
Province, the ministry said.
皇冠体育app will forbid the import of animals and animal products from nations with
avian flu or foot and mouth disease, according to Tuesday's notification from
the Ministry of Agriculture.
The avian flu was discovered in Botswana and Denmark in May.
The notification demanded that avian products from those nations will be
returned or burnt. If these products were discovered on ships, aircrafts or
trains passing by 皇冠体育app or stop in 皇冠体育app, they will be sealed.
皇冠体育app's quarantine inspection organization will enhance efforts to protect
the safety of animals in 皇冠体育app.
