The National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) began providing technical and veterinary assistance in the areas affected by forest fires in the province of Chubut, where the fire has already destroyed more than 22,000 hectares. According to the Argentine News Agency, the institute will have a territorial presence in the affected areas and provide direct support to producers and rural families. In addition, INTA teams will intervene in El Hoyo, one of the most affected localities, and in Los Alerces National Park. The work includes damage assessment, care for affected animals, advice on post-fire management, and coordination with other local institutions and bodies. In this context, INTA has focused on veterinary assistance as part of these efforts, conducting health checks, treating injured animals, providing guidelines for livestock management in this situation, and protocols to prevent diseases associated with the loss of forage, water, and shelter. The work is carried out in contact with producers, local organizations, and authorities.
