Miyazaki Gov. Hideo Higashikokubaru declared Friday an end to the foot-and-mouth epidemic that has severely hit livestock in the prefecture.

The outbreak, which began in late April, forced Miyazaki to slaughter some 289,000 pigs and cows, and impose a ban on transfers of livestock. The governor declared a state of emergency on May 18 that was partially lifted July 1 after all animals in the affected areas were culled.
