Situation Update – Strengthening the Frontline Against FMD in the Free State 🇿🇦🛡️

South Africa is navigating a critical period as Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) cases continue to rise. Recent data from the Free State Department of Agriculture confirms 149 total cases across the province, with new outbreaks recently identified in Parys, Vredefort, Deneysville, and Sasolburg.

The current data reveals a sharp upward trend in total incidents, particularly since late 2025. Areas such as Viljoenskroon/Vredefort (50 cases) and Deneysville/Sasolburg (34 cases) have emerged as high-intensity zones.

Current Containment Measures:
🔹 Rapid Vaccination: Prioritized for infected farms to reduce viral load and limit spread.
🔹 Movement Restrictions: Strict quarantine within a 10km radius of all confirmed cases.
🔹 Active Surveillance: Ongoing efforts to map and contain the 13 distinct outbreak areas identified so far.

At Biogénesis Bagó, we stand with South Africa. We urge all stakeholders to prioritize biosecurity and report suspect cases immediately. Transparency and rapid intervention are the only ways to safeguard the RAZ 80 billion livestock economy.
