> Polish farmers had received nearly 636 million PLN in culling compensation by mid-October for outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza, Newcastle disease and African swine fever, with over 860 million PLN still awaiting payment. Total direct costs for the three diseases are close to 1.5 billion PLN, and some claims were refused for procedural non-compliance.
