Nearly 60 foci of bovine leukemia detected in Ivanovo region

Starting this year, if a farmer registers self-employment, he will be able to count on state support when changing livestock.

“We are now making changes to the entire regulatory framework. We think that by replacing the breeding, buying private household plots, when they register self-employment, they will be able to receive the same subsidies as the organized sector - these are peasant farms and agricultural enterprises - within the framework of the fight against leukemia," IvanovoNews was told by the First Deputy DIRECTOR of the Department of Agriculture and Food of Ivanovskaya area Mikhail Chernov.

Compensation for self-employed households will be 100 rubles per kg of live weight. On average, this is half the cost of the animal.

Bovine leukemia is a chronic viral disease that is asymptomatic or manifests itself as lymphocytosis and malignant tumors in the hematopoietic and other organs and tissues of the animal. The disease is not new, it has been known for a long time and appeared in RUSSIA after the importation of breeding stock from Europe in the 60s of the last century. Until 1985, there were no methods for early diagnosis of this disease and due attention was not paid to it. This is why leukemia has spread so widely throughout the country. The incidence of cattle in Russia by 2000 amounted to 33.2% of the total number of registered infectious diseases.
