This Monday begins the Vaccination Campaign against Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Misiones – MisionesOnline

In this meeting it was defined that the cost of the dose of vaccine applied for producers who have more than 50 heads in stock will be $470. For producers with less than 50 heads, the maximum price will be $320, which corresponds to the operating cost, since through the steps taken, free doses have been achieved for this stratum of producers.

It should be remembered that the vaccine is made up of two values: the cost of the dose and the operating cost. That is why the provincial State guarantees the stratum of producers of less than 50 heads the free dose, having to pay only the operating cost.

Within this framework, the Undersecretary for Animal Development and Production stressed that “through this measure, the approach to small herds in the province is improved, thus benefiting producers in general, since by increasing the vaccination percentages we are reducing the risk of entry of the disease to the province of Misiones and the country.

In 30 days, COPROSA meets again with the objective of analyzing the progress of the campaign, defining the continuity of the prices initially established, or establishing if any modification would be made.

Representatives of the health entities, the Rural Society of Misiones; the Andresito Livestock Association; the Southern Zone Livestock and Forestry Association, SENASA and the Misiones Veterinary Council.
