Protection against African swine fever: Electric fences for the Palatinate Forest!

The African swine plague is on the rise! In several communities, striking signs warn of this dangerous virus. The authorities do everything they can to prevent an outbreak in the Palatinate Forest. An electronic protection fence is now being built on the critical construction site between Oggersheim-West and the A650!

In the case of foggy, wet and cold weather and temperatures that hardly exceed the eight-degree mark, those responsible gather on site. District Administrator Clemens Körner leads the on-site visit and emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The African swine plague is not only a threat to the wild boars, but also for all animal husbandry in the region. The new protection fence is intended to prevent the virus from entering the densely forested areas and is up to mischief.
