Bluetongue virus is primarily transmitted by midge bites and affects cattle, goats and sheep. The impacts on susceptible animals can vary greatly \u2013 some show no clinical signs or effects at all, while for others it can cause productivity issues, while and in the most severe cases can be fatal for infected animals.<\/p>\n

HCC\u2019s Producer and Processor Lead John Richards commented: \u201cWe would urge Welsh farmers to familiarise themselves with the new Welsh Government regulations around Bluetongue and movement restrictions. It is possible that these restrictions will change and develop over the coming months, therefore we would urge farmers to refer to Welsh Government for the latest advice and information.\u201d<\/p>\n

John continued: \u201cConsumers should be reassured that the disease does not affect food safety and does not pose a threat to human health.\u201d<\/p>\n
