The outbreak of African swine in China`s pig population has greatly benefitted exports of pork from Brazil to the region as a substitute. Germany has also detected some cases of the disease amongst its wild boar. Moreover, on Thursday, November 5th, the German Ministry of Agriculture reported another incident – an outbreak of bird flu on a chicken farm in Schleswig-Holstein, according to Reuters. The strain detected is H5N8, which is highly pathogenic.
According to the ministry, eight birds died in a short time from the virus. The rest of the chickens on the farm were sacrificed. At the beginning of the year, Germany had already registered a case of bird flu on a chicken farm in the northern region of Lower Saxony.
