The Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development continues to intensify its efforts to control the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease across the province. Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has implemented targeted roadblock operations aimed at improving livestock movement control and protecting the agricultural economy. These measures focus on preventing the transmission of disease through strict monitoring of animals transported between farms, auctions, and markets. Officials are also engaging directly with livestock owners to raise awareness about biosecurity practices and legal movement requirements. The approach combines enforcement, education, and surveillance to reduce the risk of outbreaks that can damage the livestock sector.
