On 22 May 2025, a hands-on simulation exercise was carried out in Ziyamet/Leonarisso Village, focusing on Sheep Pox and Goat Pox Virus (SGPV). Hosted at a local farm, the event brought together the EU Food Safety Project stakeholders and experts, to put emergency response plans to the test.
This proactive initiative is part of a broader effort to strengthen preparedness for animal disease outbreaks. The simulation helped identify strengths and gaps in response strategies, laying the groundwork for updates based on the latest science and best practices.
The insights gathered will directly inform future response plans — making sure actions are swift, coordinated, and effective when it matters most.
Keeping animals healthy means staying ready. Always.
