WINDHOEK- Since Meatco receives cattle from farms located close to the Veterinary Cordon Fence (VCF), this could result in its Okahandja factory being placed under quarantine most of the time.
Producers are therefore reminded to ensure that all their documents, including the 90/40 day verification and other permits are 100 % correct, because if an animal has to be sent back after it was delivered to Meatco, the farm of origin will also be placed under quarantine for 21 days.
