04/05/2021 16:16 The authorities should put in substantial efforts in order to stop the spread of the African swine fever and to restart the system of growing pigs in Romania, and this can only be done through assuming by all decision-makers of a Pig Law, according to the representatives of the Romanian Meat Association (ARC). "I believe that the authorities should make substantial efforts in order to stop the spread of the African swine fever and to resume the system of growing pigs in our country. This could be done through assuming by all decision-makers of a Pig Law, through which clear measures of bio-security can be established, at the level of the population households, to carry out awareness actions in villages, regarding the danger that the African swine flu represents for the regional and national economy and the measures which animal owners should apply in order to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Furthermore, limiting the number of swine that can be raised for own consumption and forbidding reproduction in households should contribute to a better control of animal movement and meat and would reduce the black market," Dana Tanase, CEO of ARC, declared for AGERPRES.
