Lumpy Skin Disease impact on Spanish livestock

Overview

Health restrictions caused by Lumpy Skin Disease (Dermatosis Nodular Contagiosa) led to the cancellation of the Asturiana de los Valles cattle contest in Cangas del Narcea through at least late October. To maintain community engagement during the restrictions, local authorities and breeders organized alternative livestock meetings in Gedrez.

By mid-October, authorities in Cantabria and Asturias announced a relaxation of restrictions for bovine events, including fairs, auctions, and markets, effective November 1. This easing follows a favorable epidemiological trend supported by vaccination and a seasonal reduction in insect vectors. However, sanitary vigilance remains in place; both regions require specific quarantine periods and veterinary supervision for animals arriving from outside their respective territories.
