New Zealand strengthens biosecurity to prevent foot-and-mouth disease after Germany's outbreak.

New Zealand is reinforcing its biosecurity measures following Germany's first foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in nearly 40 years. The country's Biosecurity Minister, Andrew Hoggard, stressed the importance of these measures after Germany implemented controls like restricted zones for animals and products. New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries is also addressing local biosecurity incidents, such as fruit fly detection and avian influenza, with no current concerns over German imports.
