Switzerland culls 1,500 pigs across 20 farms to contain enzootic pneumonia outbreak

Swiss authorities ordered the culling of approximately 1,500 pigs across 20 breeding operations in six cantons to contain an outbreak of enzootic pneumonia, a respiratory disease affecting swine. The measure aims to prevent further spread, though the economic impact on affected farms and the potential for wider regional disruption remain uncertain. This is a significant animal-health event with implications for agricultural trade and biosecurity.
