FMD Movement Restrictions Compliance Protects Farmers
Foot-and-Mouth Disease movement restrictions in Botswana remain in force in designated red zones to prevent wider outbreaks. These policies were introduced after repeated incidents of livestock crossing into restricted areas, forcing authorities to maintain controls that had been scheduled for gradual relaxation. Compliance through local farmer associations and clear understanding of zone boundaries reduces losses and supports long-term herd health. This article examines the rationale behind the measures, the role of community organisations in enforcement, and practical steps for livestock owners.
