Introduction: according to overseas media reports, the UK government has recently announced the lifting of the ban on the movement of livestock on 8500 farms as the UK continues to make progress in dealing with foot-and-mouth disease This would make the number of farms banned 95% of the total number of farms in the UK At present, only more than 6000 farms in the north of Britain have not been lifted On the one hand, USDA officials welcomed the progress, on the other hand, they reminded farmers and farm employees that they should not relax their vigilance because the British animal husbandry can no longer withstand a new epidemic After Britain discovered its first foot-and-mouth disease in 20 years in February this year, the European Union immediately decided to suspend all UK meat and dairy exports The foot-and-mouth disease crisis has not yet been completely over, so British agriculture has been seriously hit in recent years after the crisis of mad cow disease, swine fever and so on In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, about 3.9 million livestock were slaughtered in the UK.
