By Jennifer Shike, AgWeb.com
Russia has reported a second outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) at a site of the country's largest pork producer, Miratorg. The outbreak occurred in the Belgorod region in central Russia, Reuters reported.
On Sept. 27, Miratorg reported a similar outbreak in the same region.
ASF is harmless to humans and poses no food safety risk, but is highly contagious among pigs. The disease can be spread by both domestic and wild pigs.
The company said it has taken all measures to localize the outbreak.
