Thus, veterinarians claim that more than a third of the animals were in the risk zone of the disease, now the pigs are working orderlies, a special examination and animal testing. For a part of the pigs, a temporary quarantine was declared, but the individuals who picked up the ASF can no longer be put up for sale, their livestock will be reduced. Recall that over the past two years in Ukraine, about 80 000 pigs were killed because of the ASF outbreak. Virus into the country came from Africa.
Such changes strongly influenced the rise in price of meat and fat by 30 percent from the price of 2016. Experts also complain that there is no institution in the country to control outbreaks of ASF and prevent them.
As reported in "URA-Inform", earlier outbreaks of ASF were seen in Kherson, as well as in Odessa regions.
