US EditionMalaysia lifts suspension on Australian live cattle imports
- Malaysia has lifted a ban on live cattle and buffalo imports from Australia after a small number of Australian cattle shipped to Indonesia were found to have lumpy skin disease . Malaysian authorities lifted the ban after receiving an investigation report from Australia and discussions between the two countries.
- The ban was put in place as a precaution against LSD, an infectious disease that can be fatal to livestock. LSD is transmitted by insect bites and does not pose a risk to humans, but can hamper milk production and cause sterility and death in cattle.
- Malaysia imports cattle and buffalo from Australia worth about $5.5 million each year. Australia's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry welcomed Malaysia's decision, stating that there is no cause for concern for Australian cattle producers as Australia remains LSD-free.
