"It must be our goal to use a national joint effort to prevent the spread of ASF to other federal states and into the domestic animal population and to get them out of our country again," said Klöckner of the German press agency.
In the fight against the animal disease there is already a federal-state crisis team, an EU team with veterinary experts is on site, a task force at working level is in action - "and we are researching a vaccine in parallel," said the minister before the start of one Meeting of the state agriculture ministers on Thursday in Weiskirchen in Saarland.

But the federal states also have to do “their homework”: It is important that a state like Brandenburg, where the ASP was confirmed nationwide for the first time in a dead wild boar two weeks ago, takes on “a coordination function”: for its municipalities and associations, for example the Hunter. “The different responsibilities must be bundled,” said Klöckner. Germany will be considered ASF-free again at the earliest if no positive findings have been made for at least a year.
The outbreak of the ASF in Brandenburg and the consequences are the main topic at the Agriculture Ministers' Conference. The ministers will discuss on Thursday, and there will also be resolutions on Friday. The animal disease, which is harmless to humans, has now been detected in 29 dead wild boars in Brandenburg.
