Assiut Governor announces regulatory campaigns and livestock vaccinations

Assiut Governor Mohamed Alwan has announced the results of several intensive regulatory and veterinary campaigns across the governorate.

In recent food supply inspections, authorities issued hundreds of violations against local bakeries and markets. These actions targeted price manipulation, the sale of expired or unfit food products, and the unauthorized handling of subsidized goods. Seizures included meat and poultry unfit for consumption, underweight sugar, and rice lacking proper invoices. Additionally, fuel stations were found to have improperly handled thousands of liters of diesel and gasoline. Bakery violations primarily involved underweight bread, hygiene issues, and the unauthorized disposal of flour.

Parallel to these supply inspections, the Assiut Veterinary Medicine Directorate launched a national vaccination campaign to protect livestock from contagious diseases, specifically nodular dermatitis and small ruminant plague. During the first week of the campaign, 324 committees vaccinated 27,382 head of livestock. The initiative also included epidemiological investigations across hundreds of villages and educational seminars to promote biosecurity and animal health among local breeders.
