The Tiergarten of Salzburg closes its petting zoo to protect against mouth and claw disease during Easter. In theory, 160 animals can develop in the zoo. Further measures also apply. Your own epidemic will be classified at the entrance.
The outbreak of the mouth and the claw disease at the border is a threat to the Salzburg zoo on a travel intensive time and Easter. That is why precautions are now being taken.
“In our zoo, 160 animals can theoretically develop on the mouth and claw disease. In addition to goats, sheep and pigs, our alpacas, block antelopes, alpine stonebocks or forest speeds. Of course we will do everything in our power to prevent possible infection,” informs managing director Sabine Grebner.
Protection measures apply from Friday 11 April
The children’s farm will be closed from Friday 11 April. Moreover, access to the zoo is only possible via special epidemic carpets. Their own seed cleaning agents are available for dogs of visitors. Moreover, there is currently no sale of animal food in the treasury. A food and caressing prohibition applies. The sheep and alpacas are also not allowed to offer grass and no branches.
Extra staff will be on site and will inform about the approaching plague that is harmless to people.
How long the rules apply is still open
We must still be unclear the protective measures for a long time. “We are in close contact with the responsible authorities in this respect. But of course we hope that the reportable animal disease will not arrive. The announced family event on Easter Sunday can take place as planned.
