Compulsory medical inspections on all Sabah livestock to curb FMD

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has made it mandatory for veterinary offices statewide to carry out rigorous medical inspections on all types of livestock bound for other districts to prevent foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said this was among the steps taken by the state government to prevent FMD that has afflicted neighbouring Indonesia.
