ASP: DJV calls for increased biosecurity
Life less pigs per area, spreading the Virus of African swine fever (ASF) is slower, the natural propagation speed is 20 kilometers per year. However, people are spreading the African swine fever Virus detection within the shortest period of time and hundreds of kilometers long: In September, the animal disease has broken out in Belgium, the closest to ASP sites are in Eastern Europe. Germany is so far free of ASP. In order to prevent a spread of the animal disease as far as possible, according to the DJV more biosecurity at railway stations, Parking lots, and border crossings. This lockable waste containers at rest areas, wild pig safe Zäunungen and education of travellers.
Less wild pigs are expected in the hunting season 2018/19
In many Parts of Germany, hunters are reporting much less killed piglets in the current hunting season 2018/19. Dr. Frank Tottewitz from the Thünen Institute for forest ecosystems, one of the causes in the late, severe frost periods in March 2018, with up to minus 17 degrees Celsius: The wild boar-young has this weather not freak probably survived in many places. The scientist assumes that the hunting range 2018/19 will therefore be lower.
