As an animal owner, you may be entitled to compensation from the Swedish Board of Agriculture if your animals are affected by an outbreak of a contagious disease, which CA Cedergrens in Mönsterås municipality had.
According to Håkan Henrikson, chief veterinarian at the Swedish Board of Agriculture, these 107 million are only a partial sum.
In January, the egg producer suffered a major bird flu outbreak and was forced to kill its two million laying hens.
A total of 135 million to Kalmar County

Skåne is at the top with an amount of approximately 254 million.
