The recent spread of foot and mouth disease (serotype SAT 1) beyond its historical African range, in previously disease-free countries, including those in Southern Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, is concerning. It underscores how quickly animal disease can cross borders even in regions that have been historically disease free. Early detection, transparent reporting and strong Veterinary Services remain our best defence. Investing in surveillance, diagnostics and vaccination is key to reducing future risks and protecting livelihoods. Read our full statement: woah.org/en/woah-calls-…

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of livestock. The disease affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other cloven-hoofed ruminants. FMD is found in all excretions and secretions from infected animals, and may be present in milk and semen for up to 4 days before the animal shows clinical signs of disease. Although FMD is not readily transmissible to humans, it is a transboundary animal disease that deeply affects the production of livestock. Outbreaks can greatly disrupt regional and international trade in animals and animal products. Learn more about the disease: woah.org/en/disease/foo…

🐑 🐑 COPA COGECA have today published a new position paper on the valorisation of wool, a natural material with numerous valuable qualities. Although wool is renewable and biodegradable, 🇪🇺 farmers and cooperatives face significant legal and administrative obstacles. Under EU legislation, notably Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 on animal by-products, raw wool from healthy animals is classified in a way that imposes disproportionate constraints on its handling, marketing, and use. 📉 As a result, the 🇪🇺 wool value chain has weakened considerably. Prices have collapsed, often failing to cover even basic shearing costs. Limited EU processing capacity and the closure of key export markets have exacerbated the situation, leading to stockpiling on farms and widespread disposal of wool as waste. This is economically unsustainable and environmentally inconsistent, especially in light of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and Circular Economy objectives. 💡 Copa and Cogeca’s recommendations aim to unlock wool’s untapped potential by encouraging its marketing and valorisation, revising its legal classification, promoting on-farm uses, and supporting innovation. By removing unnecessary legal barriers, the EU can turn a growing problem into an opportunity for sustainable agriculture. 📰 Read our position paper on our website>>>>copa-cogeca.eu/publications
