In Cahul and Cantemir districts, the movement of pigs from nonprofessional farms to slaughterhouses, slaughter points, animal fairs, as well as the placing on the market of incoming products and by-products were restricted after a case of African swine fever was confirmed in Zârnești, IPN reports.
“The wildlife reservoirs are inspected, quarantine measures are introduced in the hotbed and the infected area is established. At the same time, specialists check the movement of animals on the territory of the country, carry out the screening of domestic pigs and wild boar populations, disinfection and rat killing works,” said the National Food Safety Agency.
