Sverdlovsk farmers think to stab pigs because of the epidemic of African plague in neighboring regions. This was stated by the deputy Elena Treskova.

"People are already calling me and asking, is it true that we have an African swine fever? What do we do, pin them? I answer them that it is in the neighboring regions, we do not have it yet, "she said about the concerns of residents of the Sverdlovsk region.

At the same time, she noted that because of the outbreak of tuberculosis in cows at the Putilovskiy Agricultural Complex, the complex will incur huge losses.

Recall that in November 2017, the outbreak of the African plague in pigs was announced in the Chelyabinsk region, a week later in the Tyumen, and later in the Kurgan region.
