Health emergency hits livestock events and farm life
France’s agricultural sector is coping with contagious nodular dermatitis (DNC), a disease affecting livestock. Organizers reacted by altering major events for safety.
The Salon International de l’Agriculture 2026 will take place without any cattle present, a rare decision meant to limit risk.

She will be present at the M6 stand from 11:30 to 14:00 on selected days and encouraged fans to stop by to demonstrate their support for French agriculture.
