Mexico's government said on Monday that it has started to build a $51 million (C$69.8 million) facility in the country's south as part of an effort to combat screwworm, a pest that has disrupted Mexican exports of cattle to the United States.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Monday a phased reopening of cattle, bison and equine imports from Mexico following a prolonged closure over the damaging pest New World screwworm.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will not restrict cattle imports from Mexico after another discovery of a damaging pest called New World screwworm in a cow south of the border, the agency said on Tuesday.
