African Swine Fever Alert

African Swine Fever affects all pigs, including wild boar. The disease is not the same as swine flu and does not affect humans. The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) are monitoring the situation.

Please share these posters with local businesses to inform the public about the dangers if feeding meat or meat products to pigs or wild boar.
