(ANSA) - NAPLES, 06 NOV - The covid hits people, it also puts animals in difficulty.
This is the case of a family of breeders that tested positive, which is unable to look after its own stable in the Upper Casertano, with 50 cattle in danger and then a 'peasant solidarity' was activated through the intervention in the stable of other breeders in the area.
Coldiretti Campania reports it, highlighting the work the organization is carrying out in all the provinces to assist farmers in this difficult time.
The farming family was first divided by the coronavirus, with their children in isolation in a neighboring municipality, and then struck husband and wife with symptoms that would not allow them to look after the farm.
"The zootechnical activity cannot be stopped - explains Giuseppe Miselli, director ofColdiretti Caserta - and we immediately set in motion to avoid the risk that the cows could get sick and diseased, interrupting lactation for a long period.
It would mean double damage for this family which also risks lasting economic damage.The work of the stable does not hapause, has no holidays, continues unabated every day.
The cows must be milked and cleaned, keeping in order and distributing the forages, taking care of the calves.
We have implemented, through our local offices, the provisions of the Civil Code, which allows the exchange of labor between small agricultural entrepreneurs.
In this way a healthy peasant solidarity was activated through the intervention in the stable of other farmers in the area.
It is a principle of solidarity that is indispensable to overcome the problem we are experiencing and it is of great concern with the multiplication of covid cases.
The Coldiretti family is ready to take action in support of its members ". (ANSA).
