Japfa says cows in its China dairy farms are not sick
Singapore
JAPFA Ltd said on Wednesday that there has been no incidence of cows in its China dairy farms having been tested positive for bovine tuberculosis. The Indonesian agri-food company, which has dairy operations in China, said this in a statement following media reports alleging that several of the cows in the farms belonging to Hong Kong-listed China Modern Dairy Holdings have been tested positive for the infectious disease, triggering a probe by the Chinese authorities.
"Our farms are located in Shandong Province, whereas China Modern's farms are sited in Anhui Province. The two provinces are at least 400 km apart," said Japfa.
