Both ASF outbreaks occurred in areas where the disease had previously been reported in pig herds. The advantage of this situation is that we are not at risk of expanding the scope of the red zone. Unfortunately, the duration of the herd blockade for breeders from the region will be extended by another few weeks.
Outbreak No. 2024/33 was confirmed in the town of Studzieniec in the Rogoźno commune (Obornicki poviat). This is the second outbreak confirmed in this town – the first one occurred in mid-July (2024/22). In the Rogoźno commune alone, 5 outbreaks have been confirmed this year, and in the poviat – 7.
Outbreak No. 2024/34 was confirmed in the southern part of Poznań, near the border with the Puszczykowo commune. This is the second ASF outbreak confirmed in this part of the region.
