Large-scale construction is currently underway on the South Korean border. A fence is being set up here to prevent the entry of wild pigs from North Korea infected with ASF.

Several cases of African swine fever were discovered this year in South Korea. The country's authorities have resorted to strengthening biosafety measures, including the construction of a fence on the border with North Korea.

The total length of the wild boar fence is 800 km. - only four sections of 200 km. each. The construction of three sites should be completed in November this year.

In addition, operations began in South Korea to search for living and dead infected wild boars. The country's authorities also expanded the boundaries of territories where it is allowed to hunt these animals.

It is noteworthy that in Australia, wild boars are subjected to similar persecutions. The country's farmers are proposing to the government that their livestock be completely destroyed to prevent the occurrence and spread of ASF.

Recall, for the first time, ASF in South Korea was recorded in September this year. Because of this disease and the situation on the world market, pork prices in the country in October reached record levels of $ 5.2 per 1 kg. live bait.
