The epizootic situation with ASF in Russia remains difficult. According to the forecast by ARRIAH scientists, in 2021, an average of 132 new outbreaks are expected among domestic hogs and 69 in wild boar. Moreover, outbreaks can arise in previously prosperous territories with a high density of pig herds. ASF is a problem for both small, private farms and large pig breeding companies.
At the end of 2020, an outbreak was detected at the Miratorg enterprise in the Kursk region, in January - at the Cherkizovo finishing barn in the Tambov region.
According to the National Union of Pig Breeders, from November 2020 to January 2021, about 560 thousand pigs were destroyed in Russia due to ASF.
