To prevent the introduction and spread of infections among animals in Kyrgyzstan, additional veterinary and sanitary control measures have been implemented, as reported by the Department for the Control of Epizootics of the Veterinary Service.
These measures comply with the requirements of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) Terrestrial Animal Health Code, specifically Section 2 "Risk Analysis" and Subsection 2.1 "Risk Analysis for Imports." Furthermore, they are based on Article 13 of the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Veterinary Medicine," which ensures the veterinary and sanitary protection of the country.
Within the framework of the current legislation, all necessary measures are being taken to prevent the import and spread of pathogens of infectious diseases, as well as products and goods of animal origin that do not meet veterinary and biological safety standards.
Official notifications posted in the information system of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WAHIS) also contain information on monitoring and assessing the epizootic situation in countries and regions with registered outbreaks of animal infectious diseases. Based on this data, temporary restrictions on imports from the specified countries or regions may be introduced.
