A recent outbreak of bluetongue in cattle has prompted the implementation of restrictions in the Kent region after five cases were confirmed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The virus was first detected in a cow on a farm near Canterbury on November 11th.
In response to the outbreak, a temporary control zone with a radius of 10 kilometres (approximately 6 miles) has been established. This control zone is intended to restrict the movement of animals, helping to contain the spread of the disease.
