Hungary can transport live cattle to Belarus again, as the Belarusian Veterinary and Food Safety Authority terminated the previously general entry ban imposed, because of the bluetongue disease – the Ministry of Agriculture (FM) told MTI on Friday.

According to the information according to the decision of the Belarusian authorities, the Hungarian live cattle shipments can enter Belarus from 3 February 2015 except from Csongrád, Bács-Kiskun Baranya, Békés and Tolna counties.

The mosquito-borne viral disease attacks only cattle, sheep and goats, and wild ruminants, the bluetongue virus is harmless to humans nor the potentially contaminated food produced from animals poses a threat. (MTI)
