Launching on 4 March a 60 day inoculation programme will be run across all livestock units in the province including breeding stock and buffaloes. The scheme will also include brucellosis vaccination of 3-8 month old calves.
Currently recognised as FMD free, Argentina and its beef sector depend on successful vaccinations for beef profitability and trade opportunity.
FMD vaccination programmes are on-going north of the Colorado River with Patagonia being free from vaccinations.
