Germany’s federal agriculture ministry has confirmed the first cases of African swine fever in a domestic swine herd.
The pigs were found on two farms in the eastern German state of Brandenburg. The National Pork Board says the farms include an organic farm with 200 pigs and a small farm with just two pigs. All pigs have been euthanized.
University of Missouri livestock economist Scott Brown says concerns about African swine fever aren’t going away anytime soon.
