Open day for hunters at the TCRH Training Center Rescue and Help

On Saturday, May 6, 2023, a good 50 interested hunters and dog handlers came to the Rescue and Help Training Center in the TCRH Mosbach Mosbach to find out about the carcass test project.

At the beginning, BRH President and project manager Jürgen Schart welcomed the participants and presented the project.

Why ASF cadaver trials?

In the event of an outbreak of African swine fever (ASF), the search for wild boars that have died from the disease is an important part of animal disease control. There is a lot of infectious virus material in the carcasses and their surroundings, which can infect other wild boars and spread the disease. The carcasses of dead wild boars must therefore be found and disposed of as quickly as possible. The cadaver tests with specially trained human-dog teams have proven very effective. For this purpose, emergency services such as cadaver search teams, managers and drone teams are trained at the TCRH Mosbach on behalf of the MLR Baden-Württemberg.

TCRH provides information about training opportunities

The training of emergency services to search for fallen game as part of the fight against African swine fever (ASF) is very important. The TCRH Training Center Rescue and Help will provide information in an online event about the opportunities to participate in this measure financed by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection.
