The Alcoutim Council's Cattle, Sheep and Goat Health Defense Group (ADS de Alcoutim) will be supported with a total amount of around 20 thousand euros, of which 10 thousand are transferred by the Municipality of Alcoutim and the remainder by the Loulé and São Brás de Alportel.

This support was defined by a protocol, approved by the Alcoutenejo Municipality on 13 July. The goal is to promote public and veterinary health.

Alcoutim ADS, based in Giões, is a non-profit association that aims to prevent and combat diseases that can be transmitted from animals to people, as well as animal diseases that affect the economic profitability of a livestock operation.

In addition to Alcoutim, ADS develops its activities in the municipalities of Tavira, Loulé and São Brás de Alportel.

In addition to Alcoutim, the municipalities of Loulé and São Brás de Alportel will also be signatories to the protocol which, after weighing the number of explorations in each municipality, number of planned actions and distance traveled in each territory, undertake to allocate financial contributions to ADS in the amount of 9 euros and 750 euros, respectively.

According to Osvaldo Gonçalves, “the basis for this decision is the equitable distribution of the amounts of financial support attributed to the association, based on what has been done by Alcoutim and which until then did not involve the other municipalities, namely Loulé and São Brás de Alportel ”.

"This is a fairer form of support, since, with the shared effort, we get greater financial support that will also provide significant improvements in the financial situation of ADS", adds the president of the alcouteneja municipality.
