The corresponding decree was signed on September 25. According to him, the supplier will be a large livestock farm Nuwebegin Boerdery CC. A mandatory condition for the import of animals into Russia will be the registration of a veterinary certificate, which will be certified by the signature and seal of a doctor.
In 2025, animal imports from the region were temporarily restricted. The reason was the outbreak of dangerous viral diseases (in particular, bluetanga) in African countries.
