He said that with the actions of the cattle fathers it was possible to contain in southern Mexico the sterile fly that the borer worm transmits in the cattle, horses and birds.
“It has not advanced the plague of the borer in the center of the country and much less to northern Mexico, which is a free zone,” said Jesús Brigido Colonel Valles, president of the agency.
He explained that health protocols are already fulfilled, even the approval of pens to house mobilized cattle from an area affected by the boreride worm was asked.

“In previous years we had a decrease in destination from 10 percent to 12 percent, but at the moment we are registering up to 18 percent of decrease (weight),” said the leader of the fatteners.
The reduction is reflected in the cost of production of the animal, because “the decrease increases, increases morbidity and increases mortality cases,” he said.
He declared that there are conditions in the free zone of Barrenador worm, to northern Mexico, to export cattle to the United States.
The living cattle export industry has had losses of between 25 million dollars to 30 million dollars per month for the closure of borders of the United States.

He said that the sick cattle with a cheap worm is not the one that infects another living being, but the fly that deposits the larva.
