He said, “I am using this opportunity to advise farmers to immediately report any outbreak of the disease to enable government take prompt response.”

On inadequate number of veterinarians, the director urged the government to employ more for effective supervision of abattoirs in the state.

He said most of the abattoirs lacked veterinarians to inspect animals before being slaughtered.

He said, “With the exception of the two abattoirs at Kofar Mazugal and Bachirawa, others have no meat Inspectors.

“So, there is need to have veterinarians to supervise abattoirs in each of the 44 Local Government Areas of the state.”
