The Pig Producers of Ukraine Association and the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection have created a new interactive map of African swine fever (ASF) cases in Ukraine, which records all cases of the disease since 2012.
“With the help of the ASF map, pork producers will have constant access to updated statistics on outbreaks of this disease. They will be able to track the geography of the virus and navigate the epizootic situation in the industry,” the association said in a statement.
According to the interactive map, 38 cases of ASF were registered in Ukraine in 2023, of which 12 cases were 129 wild animals, 21 cases in farms (175 animals), three cases in the private sector on commercial farms or in farms (253 animals), and 11 infected facilities were also identified. During the year, 23 quarantine regimes were canceled.
At the same time, a year earlier, 10 outbreaks of ASF were recorded in Ukraine, including three on farms, two cases each in the wild and in the private sector, commercial farms, and farms. Infected facilities were detected three times.
In pre-war 2021, 16 outbreaks of ASF were recorded in Ukraine, including six in the private sector, commercial farms, farms, three cases in the wild and on farms. Infected facilities were detected four times.
