In recent weeks, the situation in Croatia regarding African swine fever has worsened, especially in the county of Osijek-Baranja.
Three farms have been affected: one with 34 animals, a second with 1,660 animals, and a third with approximately 10,000 animals. The first was already located in a protection zone.
Since 2023, when ASF appeared in Croatia, 39,000 pigs have been culled. With these new outbreaks the number will rise to over 50,000, representing more than 5% of the national pig inventory.
The government has mobilized the army and police to guard farms and borders, strengthen controls on vehicles, and prevent the transport of at-risk meat at risk.
