Confagricoltura Veneto held a November 11 conference in Padua on African swine fever, avian influenza and lumpy skin disease. Speakers said the Veneto region remains free of African swine fever but flagged wild boar containment and a compensation fund that is running low.
Confirmed ASF in wild boar near farms would block sales from those farms even with strong biosecurity, cutting pork supply and pressuring hog and feed demand. Regional pig farm numbers in Lombardy and Emilia have already fallen sharply, so the risk is a supply-side tightening if the disease reaches Veneto.
