On December 26, 2024, the Veterinary Service of the Lezha Sector went to the farm and found the death of 7 more animals. The dead animals were immediately buried, the environment was disinfected, and official samples (carcasses and organs) were taken, which were sent to the ISUV with an accompanying document for suspicion of African Swine Fever, according to the established protocol.

Samples sent from carcasses of soft and crossbred pigs, by the Regional Veterinary Service of Lezha District, to the Reference Laboratory - Institute of Food Safety and Veterinary Medicine, on 26.12.2024, have resulted positive with the RT - PCR confirmatory test, for the presence of African Swine Fever disease.

It was inspected 3 times during the quarantine period on 27.11.2024 and on 02.12.2024 and 09.12.2024, from which it was ascertained that the animals on the farm were in good health.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, together with the law enforcement structures, have taken measures and are ready for any eventuality to manage the spread of the disease in a timely and timely manner.
