“The cause has not yet been identified,” the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) said on Friday.

According to the FSVO, various livestock farmers are reporting symptoms in dairy cows like fever and diarrhoea, often accompanied by a significant drop in milk yield. The agency confirmed reports in specialist media such like the Schweizer Bauer and the Bauernzeitung.

According to the FSVO, non-specific symptoms such as fever or diarrhoea could indicate a highly contagious animal disease.

No risk from consuming milk

However, according to the FSVO, there is currently no evidence of a risk to consumers from drinking milk or eating meat. The Swiss Milk Producers' Association nevertheless assesses the overall situation as serious.
