Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of Lumpy Skin Disease into the country. By the virtue of the Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation or transit of bovine, buffalo, and their carcasses from Cambodia has been temporarily suspended.   2. Where bovine, buffalo, and their carcasses  from Cambodia have undergone a risk assessment and have been determined to be free from epidemic diseases or vectors thereof, and where the measures prescribed by the DLD of Thailand have been duly complied with, the Director-General of the DLD will grant permission for the importation or transit of such bovine, buffalo, and their carcasses into or through Thailand.
