Latvia Reports New African Swine Fever Outbreak at Pig Farm

There's a new case of a pig disease called African Swine Fever (ASF) at a farm in Latvia.

This disease is very dangerous for pigs and can kill them quickly.

To stop it from spreading, over 23,300 pigs will be put down at the affected farm.

The government has also created a quarantine zone to control the movement of pigs.

This is not the first time this has happened in Latvia, as there have been several outbreaks before.

ASF has spread to many countries after first appearing outside of Africa in 2007.

The virus is a serious threat to pig farms globally.

Some countries are starting to use vaccines.
