ANSVSA is committed to supporting sheep exports, including by renegotiating export terms with third countries and by setting in place an additional system for the testing of batches of animals intended for export. The latter can be carried out in the ANSVSA labs which have the necessary equipment and expertise. The PPR Contingency Plan is being updated to adjust to the current epidemiological situation," the release reads.At the end of the meeting, it was decided that all the parties involved should keep open dialogue and collaborate in order to manage the situation, so that the export markets won through joint effort are maintained.The ANSVSA specifies that the PPR virus does not affect humans, and there is not even the slightest risk of human illness, but the disease has a social and economic impact.
