Trinidad and Tobago's readiness to respond to an animal disease outbreak will be tested next month during a simulation exercise organised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The exercise forms part of a wider collaboration between the Ministry and the FAO to strengthen the country's ability to prevent, detect and respond to livestock diseases, which can pose significant public health risks and threaten food production.
Ahead of the exercise, the Ministry has received specialised veterinary equipment from the FAO under a technical cooperation project titled Animal Disease Outbreak Response in Trinidad and Tobago.
