Over 6,000 domestic pigs were killed in the recent years worldwide due to the African swine fever. In Bulgaria a total of 203,000 pigs were killed due to this disease, Bulgaria’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Desislava Taneva said in Berlin. Minister Taneva attends the world’s biggest fair for food, agriculture and horticulture Green Week Berlin 2020.
