49 Miyazaki beef seed bulls to be slaughtered after 2 show foot-and-mouth symptoms

MIYAZAKI -- The prefectural government here has decided to slaughter 49 Miyazaki-brand beef seed bulls after two of them developed symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease.
Two of the 49 seed bulls kept by the Miyazaki Livestock Improvement Association showed symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease, and it is most likely that the remaining 47 cows have also been infected with the virus, Miyazaki Gov. Hideo Higashikokubaru(http://twitter.com/higashitiji) revealed Friday during a prefectural assembly session on a supplementary budget for foot-and-mouth control.

"Broken blisters have been spotted in the nasal cavity of one of the seed bulls, and it's been drooling. It developed a fever two days ago, and another bull has fever, too. They are the typical symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease," Higashikokubaru explained during the assembly session, adding, "We will slaughter all the bulls in a few days."

On May 14, one of the commercial cattle kept by the association developed foot-and-mouth symptoms, prompting the national government to decide that all the 49 seed bulls should be slaughtered, including one legendary stud bull dubbed Yasuhira.
Following that decision, the prefecture asked that the 49 seed bulls not be slaughtered on condition that they be closely observed for signs of infection; however, Senior Vice Minister of Agriculture Masahiko Yamada dismissed the request for such an exceptional measure. Higashikokubaru first indicated his intention to approve the slaughter of the animals on Thursday evening.
