This is what is foreseen by the decision of 14 September signed by the director of the regional agriculture directorate, Promotion of the food chain and culture, Hunting and fishing.
The request was received by the Region on 3 August. While theIspra (the higher institute for environmental protection and research) had expressed its favorable opinion on the implementation of the sampling plan in a note of the August 12th. Among its provisions, the Region reminds us that "the sampling in selection is allowed only in the form of a stalking", according to timetables established by law. And again, that "the selection collection is allowed only to hunters registered in the regional register of selection hunters"; "The hunting day and the slaughtered animals must be marked on the regional card for selection sampling"; "The selection hunter is required to apply the appropriate numbered date band provided by the ATC to the left ear of the downed head, before moving the head from the killing point".
Finally, a recommendation, "Given the increasing risk of introduction of the African Swine Fever virus in our country, it is advisable to maintain the attention shown in relation to the possibility of finding dead wild boars (even following a road accident) or killed but showing anomalous behavior of any kind ante mortem, so as to report them to the competent authorities (hunting guards, provincial police, forest police, veterinary services of the locally competent local health authorities).
It is also recommended to report the discovery of partially predated carcasses (the state of infection increases the probability of predation) or putrefied, as the virus survives the complete decomposition of the host thus making a laboratory diagnosis always possible ". The ATC, within 45 days of the closing of the selection hunt, will have to report to the Decentralized Agriculture Area competent the results of the management plan (Viterbonews24).
