AFRICAN SWINE FEVER CONTINUES TO SPREAD IN GERMANY
Dec. 6, 2021
Pork Checkoff reports:
African swine fever (ASF) continues to spread beyond containment areas in Germany. Last week, the country confirmed a case in a wild boar in the Poland-bordering state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
This brings the total number of wild boar cases to 2,800 and the first case in this state. This news comes days after a confirmation of ASF in a finishing pig site, where more than 4,000 pigs had to be euthanized.
As ASF continues to spread across the globe, U.S. pork producers are reminded they can prepare for a potential foreign animal disease (FAD) outbreak, such as ASF, by creating an AgView account.

AgView is a free opt-in technology solution that provides animal health and movement data to state animal health officials when prompted by producers during an FAD outbreak.
