AI Summary

long article 6 min

Òscar Ordeig, Consejero de Agricultura de la Generalitat, faces an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in Catalonia, Spain, detected in November 2024. As of recently, 238 wild boars have tested positive. The government is implementing measures to eradicate the disease, focusing on eliminating wild boars within a 20-kilometer radius of the outbreak. This involves killing approximately 6,000 wild boars in the affected area, with a goal of zero boars within 6 km and a maximum of one boar per square kilometer between 6 and 20 km. The strategy includes fences, traps, and personnel to control the wild boar population and prevent further spread of ASF. The government has invested 45 million euros and deployed nearly 2,000 personnel.
