Epidemic Among Sheep and Goats in Greece

According to The Sun: In Greece, reports indicate that hundreds of thousands of sheep and goats have been destroyed due to an outbreak of a dangerous disease. This has raised concerns that farmers may be forced to halt the production of the famous Greek cheese feta. The disease, known as

“sheep and goat plague”
, may threaten the lives of 80% to 100% of infected animals.

This situation causes serious concern among agricultural producers, as it harms both the industry and the way of life of people who depend on keeping these animals. Combating this epidemic will require significant efforts and resources, which may affect the livestock product market not only in Greece but also in neighboring countries.

In times of uncertainty, it is important to monitor the developments, as the consequences of the epidemic may have a long-term impact on the region's agriculture and food security.
