Animals were also registered in the official traceability system and attended by veterinarians for clinical analysis, vaccination and deworming
Last Friday (26), the government of São Paulo took the initiative to transfer that were found on the banks of the Pinheiros River for a Haras located in . The animals underwent veterinary care and were properly recorded in the state tracking system. This operation was collaborated by the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply, as well as the Health Surveillance Coordination of which mobilized veterinarians to vaccinate and examine the buffalo.
More than ten buffaloes were spotted on the bank of Rio, near the station and ended up invading the bike lane. The agricultural defense identified that the animals belonged to a subsistence breeding that was not registered in the animal management system. The technicians registered the buffalo and provided guidance to the owner about the importance of the animal transit guide (GTA).
“We act fast to ensure that these buffaloes were well cared for and removed from the water, which could harm the health of the herd. In addition, the defense team has issued all the documentation necessary to regularize the animals. Now, besides being safe and healthy, they will live in a suitable place,” said the Secretary of Agriculture and Supply of the State of São Paulo, Guilherme Piai, in a statement released.
The owner of the buffalo, Ednalva Mendes da Silva, had already received notifications from the city regarding the situation of the animals. She reported that she was unable to feed them and requested assistance to sell the buffalo. ”I live on a land that is an area of Enel. As it is missing food, I can not work and take dry grass or foliage in Ceagesp. Then they are looking for food.“Edinalva said.
The creation of buffalo is a common practice in the far south region of São Paulo, where produced milk is marketed for local dairy products. The government action aims not only to ensure the welfare of animals, but also to regularize the situation of buffalo breeding in the area. The collaboration between the different entities involved was fundamental for this operation, which seeks to promote animal health and food safety in the region.
