Hungarian authorities have discovered several hundred wild boars killed by African swine fever in a fenced-off game park on the outskirts of Budapest, an escalation of the problem the BBJ reported earlier this week.

Due to the rapidly spreading infection, pig farmers have to keep special feeding rules, build a security fence around their pigs, disinfect cars, and keep records on visitors.

If failing to comply with the regulations, the authorities have the right to slaughter livestock within 90 days without compensation, 444.hu adds.
