A year-long quarantine for bovine leukemia has been introduced in the Yaroslavl region.

Leukemia is a viral disease that seriously affects the immune system of animals and can cause significant economic losses in agriculture. The outbreak was identified on a dairy farm belonging to the Kalinin collective farm, near the village of Zubarikha in the Poshekhonsky district. Consequently, the Kolodinsky rural district, as well as the Yudinsky rural district and several villages, have been designated as affected areas.

Quarantine measures include a ban on the use of sick animals in production and the removal of susceptible livestock from the outbreak site, except for cases necessary for transportation to slaughter. Access to quarantined areas is also prohibited for unauthorized persons , limiting access to service personnel and veterinary specialists.

Farmers in neighboring areas are urged to closely monitor the health of their livestock and conduct regular veterinary checkups. It is also important to ensure animals are vaccinated and isolated if they show signs of infection.

The introduction of these measures underscores the importance of livestock health monitoring and infectious disease prevention, which in turn will help protect the economic interests of farmers and agricultural enterprises in the region. Joint efforts between veterinarians and agricultural producers play a key role in ensuring the safety and health of livestock farming.
