Namibia lifts suspension of live cattle exports to South Africa

WINDHOEK, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Namibia has lifted the suspension of live cattle exports to South Africa following the lifting of the movement standstill that was imposed to control the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in the neighboring country, an official said on Friday.

In a statement, Directorate of Veterinary Services Chief Veterinary Officer Albertina Shilongo said the move comes with conditions that require all trucks transporting live animals to be registered with the Directorate Veterinary Services.
