On April 4, 2025, an outbreak of Foot-And-Mouth Disease was detected in bovine livestock in Hungary. This incident has raised significant concerns regarding bio-contaminants affecting the health of livestock and the agricultural sector.

As authorities assess the situation, measures are likely being implemented to control the spread of the disease and safeguard both livestock and public health.

Given the nature of Foot-And-Mouth Disease, prompt reporting and response are critical to mitigating further outbreaks. Stakeholders in the agricultural sector are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to guidelines issued by relevant health and safety authorities.
