Thai livestock officials seized 110 head of cattle from two trucks on Sunday, at a border checkpoint in the north-eastern province of Mukdahan, after it was discovered that the drivers did not have permits for the movement of cattle.
Each driver was fined 5,000 baht and all the animals were quarantined at a facility in a village in Kam Pa Lai sub-district, to check for animal diseases and red meat enhancement substances.
A livestock official said that the seizure is part of the government’s stringent measures to make sure that Thai beef is safe from disease and carcinogenic substances.
