“It is a modern -day closed unit with a very careful farmer. The process of killing and burning about 240 animals has begun and will be completed tomorrow. Whatever is implemented, “Mr Spyropoulos said, adding that” if the problem for Serres is limited here, the situation will be good, as we have information that in beautiful counties and prefectures in Greece. “

“It is a serious problem that has spread, so we are under constant surveillance status,” the Vice -Mayor noted, stating that veterinarians are carrying out daily checks, livestock farms are constantly sending samples and a directive has been given.

“Our farmers work very well and on our part we will strengthen our forces with seasonal staff to have more veterinarians. We need great care and good cooperation and fortunately our services know very well what to do and have already visited almost all facilities, “he said.

Concerning the geographical distribution of the livestock farms, Mr. Spyropoulos noted that most were concentrated in a piece of the county and specifically in a straight line of the municipalities of Serres, Emmanuel Pappas and Nea Zichni.
