TURKEY, JUL 1 – Turkey’s vaccination campaign reduced foot-and-mouth disease cases by 80% compared to last year while shutting livestock markets to prevent spread during Eid al-Adha animal movements.
- On July 3, 2025, Turkey ordered a nationwide shutdown of all livestock markets, live animal exchanges, collection centers, fairs, and festivals to contain a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
