A new focus of African swine fever was identified in Primorye

African swine fever was detected in the village of Kavalerovo. Veterinarians have already taken all necessary response measures. Specialists are working near the compound where the virus was found. The entrance to the house is closed. Cars passing on neighboring roads are treated with special means. It has been established how the virus entered one of the farms. Presumably, the owner brought it into the barn along with mowed grass, or its marks remained on the soles of the shoes. All pigs will be exterminated. The owner will be compensated.  

Dmitry Kuzin, Head of the State Veterinary Inspectorate of the Primorsky Territory: "According to the current rules, animals in the outbreak are subject to euthanasia and extermination on the spot, and a 5-kilometer exclusion zone is defined, in which pigs are also euthanized and with subsequent compensation, both in the outbreak and in the threatening zone. The money comes from the budget. This year, 4.6 million rubles were sent to outbreaks that were in the Nadezhdinsky district, Mikhailovsky, Partizansky. Already paid to people. "

And this fact will be taken into account when preparing the monthly analytical report Meatinfo.ru
