Turkey shuts livestock markets to control foot and mouth disease
The agriculture ministry said it detected a new serotype of the disease that heightened the outbreak, due to animal movement after the Muslim religious holiday of Eid al Adha, which is typically marked by slaughtering livestock.
The decision was taken to prevent further spread as teams continue to vaccinate animals against the disease, the ministry said. It will gradually lift the restrictions once the entire livestock population is vaccinated.
The ministry also said the temporary closure will not disrupt supply and demand for meat and dairy products in Turkey.
