Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>An unknown disease is decimating cattle in Moamba, to the consternation of the more than 3,000 breeders in that part of Maputo province.<\/p>\n

The most worrying cases are registered in the villages of Mukakaza 1 and 2, where two to three animals a day are dying of the so-far undiagnosed disease.<\/p>\n

Breeders suspect that the disease is transmitted by wild animals, probably buffalo, which frequent pastures and watering places used by cattle.<\/p>\n

Moamba breeders say they have lost more than 130 head of cattle to the disease in the last three years.<\/p>\n

Contacted by R\u00e1dio Mo\u00e7ambique, the Maputo Provincial Director of Agriculture and Fisheries says that the livestock sector is aware of the situation and is working to identify the disease.<\/p>\n

In Maputo province, the diseases most often affecting cattle are theileriosis and foot-and-mouth disease.<\/p>\n

Moamba district is the second-largest cattle breeding centre in Maputo province, after Magude, with around 75,000 registered cattle.<\/p>\n
