According to Reuters, the China Livestock Association urged companies on Tuesday to donate large quantities of disinfectant to a county in central Henan province, where widespread floods have killed thousands of cattle.

Heavy rains last week caused the worst flooding in the province in centuries, killing at least 71 people. According to Chinese media reports, more than a million animals have died and 1,678 large livestock farms have been affected.
