Transcription

1 REVISED CLOVEN- HOOFED ANIMAL AND THEIR DERIVED FRESH PRODUCTS MOVEMENT PROTOCOL Considering the current foot and mouth disease (FMD) situation in the FMD vaccination zones and the containment zone the national movement protocol has been revised as follows. 1.0 FMD Vaccination zones 1.1 Live animals Movement into FMD vaccination zones Cattle Movement of cattle into FMD vaccination zones is allowed into FMD vaccination zones from FMD free zones under veterinary movement permit after 30 days of quarantine in an official approved quarantine (Makalamabedi, Kuke, Mmatshumo, Dukwi, Sese, Sefhophe). All quarantined cattle shall be vaccinated twice against FMD, 28 days apart using an approved trivalent SAT FMD vaccine for the respective zone i.e. cattle moving into zone 7 are to be vaccinated using a purified vaccine, while those going to other vaccination zones are to be vaccinated using the conventional vaccine. All cattle shall be vaccinated on entry and day 28 of quarantine Other cloven hoofed animals Direct movement of other cloven-hoofed animals from FMD free zones into FMD vaccination zones is allowed under veterinary movement permit and in sealed transport, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD. This movement is exempted from the 30 day quarantine Non cloven hoofed animals Page 1 of 11

2 Direct movement of non cloven-hoofed animals from all disease control zones (i.e. FMD free zones, other FMD vaccination zones and wildlife management areas including buffalo areas) into FMD vaccination zones is allowed under veterinary movement permit, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases. This movement is exempted from the 30 day quarantine. 1.2 Movement out of FMD vaccination zones Cattle Movement of cattle is not allowed out of the FMD vaccination zones except from zone 3b to zones 2 and 1. Only cattle bearing the latest two FMD vaccination brands, zonal brand and owners` brand are eligible for movement from zone 3b to zones 2 and 1. The cattle should be inspected and clinically free from any communicable disease including FMD on the intended date of movement and be issued with a veterinary movement permit. However, movement is not allowed from extension areas that had clinical cases of FMD in the last six (6) months Other cloven-hoofed animals Movement of other cloven-hoofed animals is not allowed out of the FMD vaccination zones except from zone 3b to other FMD vaccination zones under veterinary movement permit, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD. This movement is exempted from the 30 day quarantine Non cloven hoofed animals Movement of non cloven-hoofed animals is allowed under veterinary movement permit to all disease control zones (i.e. FMD free zones, other FMD vaccination zones, FMD containment zone and wildlife management areas including buffalo areas), after a clinical inspection Page 2 of 11

This movement is exempted from the 30 day quarantine. 1.3 Movement within an FMD vaccination zone Zones 1, 3c and Cattle Movement of cattle within an FMD vaccination zone is allowed under veterinary movement permit, except from areas that had clinical cases of FMD in the last six (6) months, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD. Only cattle bearing the latest two FMD vaccination brands, zonal brand and owners` brand are eligible for movement within the FMD vaccination zones Other cloven hoofed animals Movement of other cloven-hoofed animals is allowed without a veterinary movement permit, except from areas that had clinical cases of FMD in the last six (6) months, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD Non cloven hoofed animals Movement of non cloven-hoofed animals is allowed without within a FMD vaccination zone, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases is allowed under a veterinary movement permit Zone Cattle Page 3 of 11

4 Movement of cattle within the subzones is allowed under veterinary movement permit except from extension areas that had FMD in the last six (6) months and their immediate surroundings extension areas (i.e. all crushes within the southern confines of the Setata fence from the Namibian border to Setata gate, along the Setata gate to Toteng-Kuke gravel road junction and along the Toteng-Kuke gravel road to Kuke veterinary disease control gate), after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD. Only cattle bearing the latest two FMD vaccination brands, zonal brand at the appropriate position and owners` brand are eligible for movement within the FMD vaccination zones. However movement for direct slaughter within the vaccination zone is allowed under veterinary movement permit after a favorable inspection to officially approved slaughter facilities including Maun BMC abattoir and export to Zimbabwe or for own consumption within the zone except from extension areas that had FMD in the last six (6) months and their immediate surrounding districts (i.e. all crushes within the boundaries of the Kuke-Mokaukau disease control fence, Kuke-Toteng gravel road, Kunyere river to Sandawana veterinary gate (along the southern buffalo fence) to Habu veterinary camp and then along the Setata disease control cordon fence to the Namibian fence) But movement for direct slaughter to slaughter facilities located with within the above defined boundaries is allowed under veterinary movement permit and to Maun BMC Abattoir from extension areas that have not recorded clinical cases of FMD in the last three months. Please note that rounding of cattle is allowed without a movement permit within the grazing area Other cloven hoofed animals Movement of other cloven hoofed animals is allowed within and out of the subzones under veterinary movement permit and in sealed transport, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases including FMD except from extension Page 4 of 11

5 areas that had clinical cases of FMD in the last six (6) months and their immediate surrounding extension areas i.e. all crushes within the boundaries of the Kuke-Mokaukau disease control fence, Kuke-Toteng gravel road, Kunyere river to Sandawana veterinary gate (along the southern buffalo fence) to Habu veterinary camp and then along the Setata disease control cordon fence to the Namibian fence Non cloven hoofed animals Movement of non cloven-hoofed animals is allowed within zone 2 under permit, after a clinical inspection showing that the animals are clinically free from any communicable diseases. 1.4 Movement of cloven hoofed derived products Movement into the FMD vaccination zones Movement of cloven-hoofed animal derived products (fresh and processed) and other non cloven-hoofed derived products are allowed into the FMD vaccination zones without a veterinary movement permit Movement out of the FMD vaccination zones Fresh products Movement of cloven-hoofed derived animal fresh products including raw sausage, minced meat, saw dust (bone and muscle tissue), are not allowed out of the FMD vaccination zones except from zone 3b to zones 2 and 1.
