 Znaczenie Otoczenia Instytucjonalnego W Walce Z Afrykańskim Pomorem Świń (Asf1)Adam Sadowski Roczniki (Annals), 2015, vol. 2015, issue 5 Abstract: The paper raises the problem of the spread of African swine fever (ASF) in Podlaskie region. The first case of ASF was recorded in mid-February 201 and by the end of June 2015 recorded 111 cases of the disease in wild pigs and three places in the case of swine. The spread of the disease contributed to the initial drastically reduce hunting. Delayed action taken depopulation is not producing results and a significant part of the cost of combating the disease among wild pigs was transferred to the hunters. Bioassurance actions taken in farms are radical in nature and largely increase production costs. Moreover, almost half the population of pigs in the area covered bioassurance will be subject to liquidation and the vast majority of farmers do not receive compensation under this head. Although the action taken, implemented mainly at the expense of farmers, halt the spread of cases of ASF in farms is the lack of adequate measures in case of wild pigs, does not bring the epidemic restrictions which may result in the spread of the epidemic on a larger area and can endanger the pig farms throughout the country.
