Additional 20 km of fencing planned
It is planned to erect an additional 20 kilometers of tactical electric fences in the next few days, the Ministry of Agriculture said. This is mainly about closing the gap in the fence.
Electric fences around the main infection area are intended to prevent infected or diseased wild boars from migrating outside. As the ministry's spokeswoman said, the installation of tactical electric fences can be quickly adapted to the situation.
The costs of the fence are covered by the state
The costs of building security fences are currently covered by the state. ASF was first detected in a wild boar in the Gross-Gerau district about six weeks ago. So far, the disease has affected the farms of eight pig farmers, all in the Gross-Gerau district.
