Malaysia suspends live cattle and buffalo imports from Australia


KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Malaysia has temporarily suspended live cattle and buffalo imports from Australia, officials said Friday, after neighbouring Indonesia said cattle infected with lumpy skin disease (LSD) had arrived from the country.

LSD is an infectious viral disease that causes a reduction in milk production, temporary or permanent sterility, and sometimes death of cattle but poses no risk to humans.
