Rabies quarantine imposed near Inskaya poultry farm and Kuzbass home

Acting governor of Kuzbass Andrey Panov signed two decrees imposing rabies quarantines due to disease outbreaks. Animals in the villages of Belova and Prokopyevsk will be seized, according to documents reviewed by NGS42.RU on Friday, January 30.

The quarantine is imposed for two months in the villages of Snezhinsky in Belovsky District and Tikhonovka in Prokopyevsky District. In both cases, within a one-kilometer radius from the infection focus of an unspecified disease, it is prohibited to treat animals and visit the area where rabies was detected. Additionally, stray livestock will be captured.

Hunting and skinning are also prohibited, and moreover, within the specified radius, vaccination of domestic livestock is required. If signs of rabies are detected, dogs, cats, pigs, horses, goats, and other animals will be seized.

Judging by the location of the focus in Belova, it is near the Inskaya poultry farm, which produces chicken eggs and raises chickens, but the enterprise does not fall within the one-kilometer infection radius.

In autumn, NGS42.RU wrote that when rabies cases were detected in Kemerovo, pigs from local residents were seized within a three-kilometer radius. Meanwhile, information on what the animals might have been infected with was classified.
