Oman refutes Saudi reports on shipment cows

Muscat: Reports a shipment cows was sent back to Oman from Saudi Arabia have been debunked by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries which confirmed the cattle were registered as Somalians, not Omani, when exporting them.
A Saudi newspaper reported that 1,000 cows' birth locations were registered as of an Omani breed. But Oman’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries confirmed that the Sultanate sent only one shipment of 1,100 Somalian cows to Saudi Arabia on December 1st 2016 from Sultan Qaboos Port.
It stated: “The shipment met the necessary exporting requirements (Issuance of birth location from Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a veterinary health certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the customs statement from Royal Oman Police). All these documents registered the cows as Somalians and not from any other offspring like it was reported.”
The ministry added that it is coordinating with specialised authorities in Saudi Arabia to find out the source of information and the data released by (Al Yawm) newspaper.
