Miratorg reports an ASF outbreak at one of its sites
The outbreak was reported at a feeding station at Miratorg's Ivitsa 2 pork production site in the Belgorod region. The diagnosis was established by the company's laboratory and samples of the biomaterial were sent for analysis to the state laboratory.
The company operates strictly within the procedure established by regulatory enactments: an operational headquarters has been established on the site which encloses 24 thousand pigs. The company announced the introduction of a quarantine to exclude the further spread of the disease.
Furthermore, the company announced it maintains a constant contact with the State Veterinary Service, Rosselkhoznadzor, and other official bodies. The company also began an internal investigation to determine the causes of the contamination in the site.
If the ASF contamination will be confirmed, the company will have to cull all of the pigs in the feedlot area.
Miratorg has notified the insurance companies about the event and has started the process of determining the possible damage within the framework of the current insurance contract.
