"Transporturile ilegale de ovine sunt acum cel mai mare pericol biologic la adresa României". ANSVSA avertizează fermierii

The National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA) warns that illegal sheep transport poses a significant biological threat to Romania. Farmers violating regulations face fines of 20,000 lei and potential criminal charges. ANSVSA emphasizes the importance of reporting any suspicious animal symptoms to protect livestock and maintain export markets. The authority also clarifies that testing or quarantining undocumented sheep is ineffective due to legal and biological reasons. Strict measures are in place to intercept illegal transports, with animals being seized and destroyed to prevent disease spread. ANSVSA urges compliance to safeguard the agricultural sector.
