The Catalan government has reached an agreement with the farming sector to cull 30,000 healthy pigs on farms near the African swine fever outbreak detected in Barcelona's Collserola range. The measure, agreed upon in an urgent meeting on Friday, aims to prevent the spread of the outbreak and reassure a key economic sector. The meat from these animals will be used for internal consumption.
Frustrated South African farmers have demanded that the government allow private procurement and administration of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines to combat the ongoing outbreak. In a letter to Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen, agricultural organizations argue there is no legal barrier to such measures. Steenhuisen has warned that pursuing litigation could undermine the national vaccination strategy.
