Infected pigs from the Netherlands

The often illegally sold, uncontrolled imported, low priced pigs prices significantly deteriorate the situation of the domestic pig breeders.

These kind of animals are easier to import from the Netherlands than transport within Hungary. Each year approximately one million pigs come from the Netherlands. In Hungary, the PRRS was barely unknown ten years ago, but today almost half of the Hungarian rearing pigs may become infected – reports Magyar Nemzet Online.
