Government seeks to reassure farmers amid foot-and-mouth outbreak in Germany

The UK government is actively working to reassure farmers following the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Germany, as reported by MSN. The disease, which can severely impact livestock, has not been detected in the UK, but the government is taking precautionary measures to prevent its spread. These measures include enhanced biosecurity protocols, increased surveillance, and restrictions on the movement of animals from affected areas.

The government's response aims to protect the UK's agricultural sector from potential economic losses and maintain consumer confidence in British meat and dairy products.
