Foot and mouth

Learning lessons on coping with major outbreak of disease MEMORIES of the world's worst ever epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), which hit the UK on 23 February, 2001, still remain painful to farmers everywhere.

'Whitewash' on foot and mouth payouts THE government was yesterday accused of a "whitewash" after refusing to compensate Scottish farmers who lost out because of a foot-and-mouth outbreak at a state laboratory in England.

'Urgent need' for new foot-and-mouth plan CROSS-BORDER plans to tackle future outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease are needed as "a matter of urgency", the Prime Minister was told yesterday.

True scale of sheep losses revealed ALL the UK farming organisations have made it clear for many months that they intend to pursue the government for compensation for the full losses incurred as a result of the foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in August and early September of 2007.
