The ASF situation in Kostroma
The majority of outbreaks in domestic pigs were detected in private subsidiary farms. In addition, an ASF outbreak was detected on the production site "Shuvalovo-3" of pig-breeding enterprise "Shuvalovo" in the Kostroma district. All 6 thousand pigs kept on this fattening facility were culled.
"The supposed source of ASF in the region is wild boar, which is confirmed by their excess number in the entire region and in districts, where centers are established. It is connected with the summer period and people visiting forest areas to pick berries and mushrooms," explained in the territorial department of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision.
