Pork is in high demand now.

Buyers increasingly prefer veal, and vendors selling pavilions in local markets are losing money.

Before go to the shop, fresh meat is carefully checked in the veterinary laboratory.

These are in all major markets.

Meat is examined for viruses and bacteria.

Only after the examination of veterinarians pork is avalaible for sale.

Experts believe that pork, which has not passed the examination, is sold with hands right on the street.

Veterinarians said that it is safety to buy meat only in specialized markets and in large retail chains.

There will not be a shortage of pork - according to representatives of hypermarkets.

The Department of Agriculture and Food of Primorye argues that this is due to the fact that most of the meat in the region was always imported from the west of the country and from abroad.

Because of the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, the region lost all seven percent steam pork. However, now the price of fresh meat may increase.

Meanwhile, new outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in the province are fixed daily. Private farms are suffering. All animals are seized and destroyed. In just one month, more than 70 thousand heads were utilized in Primorye.

According to veterinary inspection large pig farms will be able to rehabilitate after the disease in two years. The quarantine will be removed from the enterprises in 28 and then the final disinfection and the delivery of new pigs will begin.
