According to legend, a certain disease was discovered in pigs in one of the farms in the Artinsky district. Specialists needed to quickly identify the cause, eliminate the source of infection and prevent its spread in the region and beyond.

Veterinary specialists examined the animals and took samples of biological material. A convoy of special equipment was sent to the conditional outbreak of the disease to remove animals, deliver them to the place of destruction, and disinfect the farm after removing the livestock. As a result of the measures taken, the conditional ASF outbreak was successfully eliminated.

The conducted exercises confirmed the readiness of regional authorities to immediately implement a set of measures to prevent the spread, localize and eliminate a source of infection should it arise.
