So far, Bulgaria paid nearly EUR 800,000 to the owners of euthanized animals affected by lumpy skin disease (nodular dermatitis), Bulgaria’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Desislava Taneva told media on Saturday ahead of the official opening of the jubilee 10th Festival of Flat Sausage in Gorna Oryahovitsa. On June 1 the cabinet decided to provide state financial aid under the de minimis programme to all farmers whose animals were euthanized due to the lumpy skin disease. We received on the same day 100,000 more vaccines and by the middle of next week the cattle in Southern Bulgaria will be fully treated with those vaccines. We are also planning to treat the cattle in Northern Bulgaria with vaccines, Minister Taneva further said.
