Danish Kingdom has begun construction of a $ 12 million fence for a length of 70 km along the border with the Federal Republic of Germany. This building will control the migration of wild boars. About this BBC reports.
Scandinavians fear that African swine fever, found in two dead boars in the Kingdom of Belgium, could threaten the Danish pig industry. If the disease spreads, Danish pork exports will be put at risk.
"The government intends to do everything possible to prevent the African plague from entering Denmark." And now we can finally start building our fence from wild boars, ”said the Minister of Environment and Food, Jacob Ellemann-Jensen.
It should be noted that Denmark grows about 28 million pigs per year, and its pig-breeding industry is estimated at $ 4.6 billion.
