PARIS (Reuters) - Members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) agreed on Wednesday on cattle breeding rules, its first ever deal on livestock production.
The deal, approved by OIE's 178 members apart from South Africa, includes measures such as ensuring cattle beefs' health, breeding environment, genetic selection, Director General Bernard Vallat told reporters at the 80th General Assembly.
However, a draft of the deal, to be formally adopted on Friday, showed that terms remained vague and data such as minimum/maximum temperature levels, the hours of light animals needed or the soil quality were either removed or not included.
