Wakiso District suspends livestock movement from abattoirs after suspected TB-like disease

According to the Nile Post, Wakiso District authorities stopped the movement of cattle, goats and sheep from abattoirs until veterinary checks are completed, after media reports of a tuberculosis-like disease in livestock. District Veterinary Officer Dr Bamundaga Kyobe Godfrey said a veterinary officer must inspect every carcass before release. Some abattoir operators said the fees and requirements were hard to meet without government support.
