The scheduled vaccinations of these animals, which will be dispatched to the destination farm declared by the owner, will be completed by the Ministry during the quarantine process.
Unidentified animals brought to slaughterhouses or livestock markets will be immediately slaughtered, at the owner's expense, if approved by the official veterinarian. Animals found unsuitable for slaughter will be promptly dispatched to quarantine without delay.
