Latvia reports swine fever outbreak in the Saldus Region
The farm that was hit by the disease had four pigs. The Food and Veterinary Service of Latvia is now currently taking the necessary measure to prevent a spreading of the ASF. A protective zone has been established within a radius of three kilometers and also a surveillance zone within a ten kilometer radius, as reported by Latvijas Sabiedriskie Mediji.
The pig producers living in the surveillance and protection area are forbidden to transport pigs from farm to farm and take them out of the protective zone.
Other pets cannot be taken out of the area without a service inspector's permission.
Latvia has first witnessed an outbreak of ASF in June 2014.
The outbreak of the ASF on a farm, where the pig population reached 15,570, has become the largest in the country since 2014. The government has promised to allocate 367 thousand euros from the budget for unforeseen expenses.
