Paraguay informed the U.S. about its plan to stop vaccinating against foot-and-mouth disease in 2026

The president of the National Animal Quality and Health Service (Senacsa), José Carlos Martin, informed the United States about the progress of the program to phase out vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease, as well as other direct livestock policies such as the implementation of animal identification and traceability.

This information comes from an official document sent in June this year by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to the president of Senacsa.

“We are pleased to know that Paraguay plans to continue technical actions to improve the national program and adjust some of its components, such as the suspension of vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease in 2026,” said the USDA communication. Source: Valor Agro
