An outbreak of bluetongue disease has affected around 4,000 sheep in the Green Mountain region, with approximately 150 reported dead since the initial cases emerged in late September.
Salih Boumbarka, head of the region’s Livestock Department, confirmed the outbreak, describing it as a serious threat to local livestock.
Boumbarka also reported that a vaccination campaign against lumpy skin disease in cattle began two weeks ago, aiming to curb disease spread and safeguard animal health. However, he highlighted ongoing shortages in essential supplies, including insecticides, medications, and disinfectants to treat affected areas.
