[QUOTE="Texan, post: 138133, member: 416"] Chuck, it doesn't hurt to agree with OT every once in a while. Long as you don't make a habit of it. ;-) I can agree with both of you on the FMD. Seems like it's gonna get worse down there before it gets better: [b]RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov 3, 2005 (Reuters) -[/b] Another 10 cases of foot-and-mouth disease were confirmed in cattle in Mato Grosso do Sul, bringing the total to 21 in Brazil's biggest beef state, the agriculture ministry said. The new cases were in the district of Japora, near Eldorado district where the first outbreak was reported on Oct. 10 and within a 25-kilometer (15.5 miles) area that was sealed off in a bid to stop the disease spreading. "They are all within the exclusion zone in the state," Jorge Caetano, the ministry's Director of Animal Health was quoted as saying by the official news agency Agencia Brasil. A total of 49 countries have now restricted imports of Brazilian meat since the first outbreak was confirmed in the world's biggest beef exporter. The curbs are expected to reduce Brazilian beef export earnings by $230 million to $2.8 billion in 2005, Antonio Camardelli, Executive Director of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporters (Abiec) said. Speaking after a meeting on Wednesday with Agriculture Minister Roberto Rodrigues, the country's meat export leader called for tougher measures to combat the highly contagious disease. "Only in this way can we show the world that our health control measures are serious," Camardelli told Agencia Brasil, adding that in this way Brazil could prevent more countries blacklisting Brazilian meat. Around 2,000 head of cattle had been slaughtered By Nov. 1 out of a total herd of 20,000 in the infected area in Mato Grosso do Sul. "All the animals in the infected area should be slaughtered," the agriculture ministry's Caetano said. The government said it would compensate farmers who had vaccinated their herds. Veterinary experts have suggested that the vaccinations may have been poorly applied. The disease doesn't harm humans, but causes fever, weight loss and infertility in cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. [/QUOTE]
