The increase in withdrawals
“In the territory subject to hunting management (excluding parks and protected areas) the selective levies of wild boars in implementation of the PRIU (extraordinary plan for swine fever) are increasing. With the endorsement and fixed stalking technique, 3.000 animals were slaughtered in the first half of 2023, with an evident growth trend in the levy. Most of the garments have been sent to supply chain processes in the wildlife processing centers present in the region". This was communicated by the regional councilor of the Basilicata to Agriculture, Alessandro Galella.
Emergency management
"Further measures - adds the councilor - will be put in place by the Basilicata Region for the fight against the surplus in Basilicata with the "Project for the supply of integrated services for the management of the emergency caused by the excessive number of the population of the wild boar species ( Sus Scrofa)” which intends to set up a chain that includes all the stages of the process starting from the capture or killing of specimens of Sus scrofa, passing through the activation and management of collection centres, the transport and disposal of the carcasses.
Lucan brand
The same goes for the production of processed products under the Lucan brand, converting the emergency linked to the growth of the wild population into a concrete economic opportunity for the development of the area, the deadline for submitting proposals for which will expire on 7/8/2023" ( source: Basilicata Region).
