(Central News Agency reporter Su Siyun, Taipei 23) The outside world questioned whether the death of the Qingtiangang buffalo was related to the placement of fences that affected foraging. The Construction Department clarified that there was still a lot of fodder in the stomach of the stuffed cattle, and the place of death was scattered, not only on the fence, the cause of death was nutritional imbalance, not hunger. On the 22nd, nutritional supplementation measures have been put in place to help cattle in winter.
The Interior Ministry Construction Agency today issued a press release on the death of a buffalo in Qingtiangang, Yangmingshan, Taipei. On the afternoon of the 21st, the Taipei Municipal Department of Animal Protection held an interdisciplinary meeting of experts. Preliminary rule out the possibility of zoonotic diseases and zoonotic diseases. The cause of death must be related to poor ingredients and quality of food sources, leading to long-term nutritional imbalance.
According to the Construction Agency, it is mainly related to the number of ethnic groups, climatic factors and degradation of vegetation.
The Construction and Construction Agency noted that from the perspective of the number of ethnic groups, according to the survey of the Yangmingshan National Park Management Bureau (Yangguan Bureau), in 2017, there were 29, 19 and 16 in the Qingtiangang areas, Dingshan-Shitiling and Suanzuishan, respectively. Two to five cows will die from the temperature. However, January and February of this year were warmer, with fewer deaths from natural removal. The Qingtiangang area recorded a high of 39 buffalo in September, which is more than three years ago. However, the more ethnic groups there are, the only more deaths there are.
In the weather report, the Construction Agency indicated that according to the elders who looked after the cattle in the early stage, the buffalo was afraid of the continuous rains. The Qingtiangang area had 12 consecutive rains in November this year and 21 consecutive rains in December, both more than the previous two years. Continuous rains and lack of sunshine accelerate the decline of individuals. In addition, the wild buffalo in the Qingtiangang area mainly gnaws the grass mat, followed by the five-section awning, the Taiwan awning, and the young artificial oak leaves. Nutrition is relatively insufficient. Natural environmental factors make wild buffalo easily lacking in protein and minerals. Some cattle are weak.
The Construction Agency said that the Yangguan Office currently implements 7 measures. First, the barbed wire fence will be dynamically managed; second, emergency nutritional supplements for livestock will be carried out in appropriate locations. Civil organizations have urgently delivered 4 pieces of 60 kg of forage, 30 kg of legumes and 10 kg of rock bricks, which will be properly laid in the future. At the site, 60 kilograms of forages such as sweet oats, bermuda berries and alfalfa will be purchased and placed on the site today.
Third, install automatic cameras to continuously monitor the feeding status and activity of the cattle; fourth, strengthen the implementation of inspection, monitoring and notification mechanisms; fifth, sampling of livestock for sanitary inspections.

Sixth, a long-term monitoring mechanism will be established in the future to monitor the interaction factors between the number of wild cattle populations and habitat; At the same time, the Yangguan Office will continue to publish the daily driving status on the website to facilitate understanding of the outside world.
The Building Agency stressed that Qingtiangang’s unowned wild buffalo has long existed in the Qingtiangang area. Birth, death, and the environment are in dynamic balance. In principle, there is no need for excessive human interference. Yangguan Department primarily helps livestock in response to the impact of extreme weather on the ecological environment. Only for winter. Ask people interacting with wild buffalo to observe the three principles of no feeding, no interference, and no contact. (Editor: Pan Yijing) 1091223
