## Why it matters

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.
