Compensation to the Owner of the Animal Infected with Anthrax

Compensation will be paid to the owner of the animal infected with anthrax. Laboratory testing of the animal will be requested for payment.

The "Regulation on Amending the Regulation on Compensation in Animal Diseases" of the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. With this regulation, it was decided to pay compensation for animal diseases, the place of payment and the time of implementation.

Anthrax Disease Is Now Covered by Regulation

Anthrax was also included among the diseases covered by the regulation. Accordingly, due to anthrax disease, animal owners will be compensated based on the amounts determined by the local valuation commission and according to the principles in the regulation. The compensation amount will be three-quarters of the appraised value of cattle, sheep, goats and equidae animals, which are determined by laboratory examination to have anthrax disease. Detection of anthrax disease by official laboratories will be accepted as the basis for payment of compensation.
