Argentina Regulates Private Vets for FMD Vaccination Ahead of 2027 Campaign

Argentina's government issued a regulation allowing producers to choose accredited private veterinarians for foot-and-mouth disease vaccination ahead of the 2027 campaign, while imposing new cold storage and vaccine preservation controls. This marks a shift from state-managed vaccination logistics, potentially improving efficiency but raising biosecurity oversight questions. The move is significant for Argentina's livestock sector and its export competitiveness.
