The disease was suspected due to the sudden death of a pig on the farm, so blood samples from its carcasses and other captive pigs were delivered to the National Institute for Food and Veterinary Risk Assessment (NMVRVI) and temporary restrictions were imposed. to exploitation. The two remaining pigs died over the weekend and, following WTO approval on the farm on August 10, eradication and disinfection of the outbreak began on the farm.
3 kilometers of protection and 10 kilometers of monitoring zones have been established around the farm, covering the territories of the district municipalities of Kaunas, Jurbarkas, Raseiniai and Kėdainiai. They conduct a census of pig farmers and the pigs they raise to determine whether the WTO has been extended.
A group of SFVS specialists has launched a study to find out how the virus entered the farm. According to preliminary data, inconsistencies in biosecurity measures have been identified at this farm: the pigs have been housed in a leaky temporary building, an ineffective deso-barrier, poorly used work clothes, and more. The farm is located just 100 meters from the forest, all of which posed a significant risk of the virus entering the chicken coop from the wild.
The WTO has been circulating in the country’s wildlife for the seventh consecutive year and this year it has been approved for 174 boars: 100 hunted and 74 killed.
