Abstract
African Swine Fever (ASF) is one of the most challenging swine diseases that has a significant impact on global pig farming from both sanitary and economic perspectives. The virus causes mortality rates of up to 95‒100% when it enters a population of domestic pigs, and the absence of treatment and vaccines makes controlling and eradication of ASF a challenging task. Therefore, rapid outbreak detection and strict sanitary measures are crucial tools in combating the disease. Free-range pig farming systems can increase the risk of ASF spreading as pigs have more access to the environment and other animals. This can lead to the disease rapidly spreading, especially if infected wild boars come into contact with domestic pigs. To prevent the spread of ASF, it is necessary to implement comprehensive measures, including increasing the level of biosecurity on pig farms and strict compliance with the rules for animal transportation.
