Vet Dept to monitor entry of beef consignments from Brazil

KUALA LUMPUR: The Veterinary Services Department will continue to monitor the entry of beef consignments from Brazil following reports of mad cow disease cases detected in the country, says Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

"Not all places are experiencing the outbreak, but the Veterinary Department will keep monitoring the import process. This is because Malaysia is among countries that actively evaluates imported materials that enter the country," he told reporters on Tuesday (March 7).
