According to data from the Animal Disease Information System (TSIS), 92 ASF cases were reported in August, 53 in September, and only 39 confirmed cases in October. The federal states of Hesse and North Rhine–Westphalia remain the most affected.
In the eastern regions — Brandenburg and Saxony — no new cases have been detected for several months, allowing authorities to reduce or fully lift some of the restricted zones.
Despite the positive trend, experts emphasize that the risk of ASF spreading to pig farms remains high. Producers must continue to strictly adhere to biosecurity measures.
With the driven hunt season approaching, hunters are urged to remain highly vigilant and strictly follow preventive and hygiene protocols. It is particularly recommended to refrain from visiting regions where ASF cases are still being reported.
