Anti-Anthrax campaign suspended to focus on FMD

Chief agricultural information and public relations officer, Boikhutso Rabasha said yesterday that they have suspended the campaign because they had to pool resources to focus on FMD because it has the potential to harm the country's economy. "We pooled out teams for this campaign so that they can go help with FMD. That is where our priority is right now," she said.

She said that even the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) veterinary officials have been redeployed to cull the cattle in the FMD zone. The anti-FMD campaign has been running for over two weeks and it is not clear when the ministry will complete the project.
