The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform (MAFWLR) has assured farmers and the public at large that no traces of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) have been found in the country thus far.

Namibia is intensifying efforts to safeguard its internationally recognised foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)-free zone following rising outbreaks in the Southern African region.

Amid persistent foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in neighbouring countries, the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) has urged livestock farmers to remain vigilant against any disease incursions that could threaten the country's FMD-free zone.
