On May 22 of this year, the farm notified district veterinary medicine specialists about the death of 11 pigs.
Specialists selected samples of pathological material for research on viruses in the test center of the Vinnitsa regional laboratory of the State Food and Beverage Service. As a result of laboratory studies, it was confirmed about diseases of pigs in ASF facilities.
Over time, it became clear that the inhabitants of the pig farm began to die as early as May 19. On May 23, the number of dead animals reached 24 goals. According to the African swine fever eradication plan, all livestock on the farm must be removed and burned. Today, the farm contains more than 1 thousand pigs.
