Minister Òscar Ordeig announced on Thursday that the investigation was initiated due to the farm's failure to comply with the mandatory vaccination of livestock, a situation that led to a new outbreak of the disease in the Alt Empordà area.
“"We had sent a written warning to the Capmany farm when we detected that not all the cattle had been vaccinated."
Ordeig stressed the crucial importance of vaccination for public and economic health, stating that “the country has a lot at stake,” and insisted on the need for strict compliance to prevent the spread of Contagious Nodular Dermatosis.
The Department of Agriculture does not rule out imposing sanctions on the Capmany farm for violating current health regulations, as mandatory vaccination is a fundamental pillar in containing this animal epidemic.
