In the Dunduri Meadows of Kemeri National Park, the Food and Veterinary Service (PVD) conducted checks following reports of dead bullocks. The agency, led by Veterinary Monitoring Department director Kristīne Lamberga, confirmed that the animals showed no signs of infectious diseases, which means there is no threat of disease spread, or epizootic risk. The findings are critical, as they help address public concerns regarding animal health and food safety in the region.

The PVD did not evaluate the conditions under which the animals were kept, as bullocks in this national park are categorized as semi-wild animals according to the conservation plan for the protected area, covering the period from 2024 to 2036. The preservation plan acknowledges that both living and deceased animals are vital for the ecosystem, especially for maintaining prey populations, such as eagles and other protected species. The semi-wild status of the bullocks also affects how the PVD assesses their housing and management conditions.

Since the bullocks are not raised for agricultural purposes, the PVD's regulations on livestock management differ from those that apply to farm animals intended for food production. This distinction is crucial to understanding the management practices in protected areas and underscores the importance of balancing conservation efforts with wildlife management. As concerns over epizootic diseases grow, careful monitoring and assessment of wildlife health remain essential to prevent potential outbreaks in domestic animals.
