KUALA LUMPUR: Environmental pollution originating from livestock waste has been a longstanding issue in Malaysia, with the Veterinary Services Department (DVS) attributing this to the lackadaisical attitude of most industry players.
The contamination of Sungai Punggur in Air Molek, Melaka, in 2020 was among the cases of severe pollution reported in recent years and it was caused by waste discharged by at least seven unlicensed cattle farms.
