On January 5, 2011, the first in the past 12 years case of FMD occurred in Bulgaria. In any future outbreaks, we would take a much more precautionary approach and announce a ban as soon as a case of FMD is confirmed. FMD is a highly contagious disease affecting cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, swine and other cloven-hoofed animals.
