A state of emergency has been declared across nine districts in the southern Krasnoyarsk Territory in response to an outbreak of cattle dermatitis nodosa. The formal decree outlining the emergency measures was issued by regional authorities and published to ensure public awareness, practical guidance, and compliance among farmers, veterinarians, and local communities.
The affected districts are Minusinsky, Ermakovsky, Idrinsky, Karatuzsky, Krasnoturansky, Kuraginsky, Novoselovsky, Uzhursky, and Shushensky. Officials emphasize that a unified, coordinated response is essential to safeguard livestock health, protect food supplies, and minimize economic disruption for families and agricultural enterprises that rely on cattle production in these areas.
Cattle dermatitis nodosa is an infectious disease in bovines that presents with fever, the development of nodular skin lesions, and erosions affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Transmission occurs through close contact between animals and can, in certain circumstances, involve other routes, which highlights the critical need for strict biosecurity measures and quarantine when nodules are detected. Once an infectious nodule is identified, authorities set up quarantine zones, and affected animals are isolated and treated under veterinary supervision. Ongoing surveillance and rapid reporting by farmers are crucial to containing outbreaks and preventing spread to nearby herds. Authorities stress that early detection, prompt quarantine actions, and clear communication with livestock owners help ensure containment while protecting animal welfare and agricultural livelihoods.
In related agricultural developments, recent activity in the Russian market shows a rise in egg prices driven by poultry health challenges. These disruptions influenced market dynamics for poultry products and placed temporary pressures on retail and production chains as producers adapted to evolving disease control measures, shifting demand, and the need for consistent biosecurity practices in farm operations.
Public health and veterinary services continue to monitor reports and advisories. Regional veterinary professionals emphasize the importance of proactive monitoring, timely quarantine actions, and open channels of communication with farmers to ensure that containment efforts are understood and followed. Local authorities reiterate that adherence to movement restrictions and sanitation protocols is essential to protect livestock stocks and support the resilience of the regional agricultural system. These measures form part of a broader strategy to mitigate economic impact while prioritizing animal welfare and safe food production in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The situation remains under close review by veterinary authorities and regional administrators who coordinate with national agencies to align response efforts with established animal health standards.
