“The official data that the professionals of the municipality of Macaharetí, the Government of Chuquisaca and the Senasag (National Service of Agricultural Health and Food Safety) made a total of 2,474 livestock,” he told reporters.
Chambaye detailed that 16,000 cattle are in that risk zone, of which 873 are sick, 253 farms or corrals that were inspected by the technicians of these three institutions.
He argued that two of three laboratory tests ensure that the massive death of cattle is due to hemoparasites, intoxication and clostridiosis, which are fatal diseases affecting cattle.
These results correspond to the Laboratory of Investigation and Diagnostic Veterinary (Lidivet) of Santa Cruz and to the Integral Agricultural Laboratory Villa Montes, Tarija, respectively, added.
While the Laboratory of Water, Soils and Plants of the Gabriel René Moreno University of Santa Cruz, will just deliver the final results tomorrow, Friday, as it is a function of a cognitive test on mice, complement.
