Gempa Bumi Mengancam Produksi Daging Sapi Wagyu

ISHIKAWA, Jan 15 (News on Japan) - Dampak gempa bumi telah meluas ke peternakan, dengan satu peternakan daging sapi Wagyu di Prefektur Ishikawa tidak dapat mengirimkan pakan karena kerusakan jalan.

Kandang sapi di peternakan di Kota Noto mengalami kerusakan parah, termasuk beberapa yang setengah runtuh.

Para staf terus merawat sapi-sapi tersebut, pulang pergi dari pusat-pusat pengungsian, tetapi karena pemadaman listrik, mereka tidak dapat menyediakan air, yang mengakibatkan kematian satu ekor sapi.

Sebagian jalan menuju peternakan telah amblas, sehingga truk-truk besar tidak dapat melewatinya dan tidak dapat mengirimkan pakan.

Penanggung jawab peternakan mengungkapkan kekhawatirannya, dengan menyatakan, "Kami akan kehabisan pakan dalam satu atau dua minggu lagi."
