This is the fourth case of ASF among domestic pigs in Latvia since the beginning of the year. To eliminate the outbreak and prevent its further spread, the PVD is taking comprehensive measures to eliminate and localise it. All pigs on the affected farm will be destroyed.
A quarantine zone has been established around the farm. In the farms located within it, the veterinary service will strengthen checks on the health of animals and compliance with biosafety. The movement of pigs and pig products is also restricted in the zone.
An epidemiological investigation is ongoing to determine the source of the infection and prevent new cases.
