US government successfully creates tool in ASF field test
March 25, 2020 US government successfully creates tool in ASF field test The US Department of Homeland Security stated Tuesday it had successfully evaluated a genetic test that detects the African swine fever (ASF) virus and returns results in a matter of hours. As the COVID-19 sweeps across the globe sickening humans, scientists are making progress on developing tests that could help combat a different deadly disease—ASF—which has been ravaging hog herds. It is the first product of its kind that the agency has scrutinised. For now, there are no vaccines or in-the-field detection devices that could help combat the virus in such a scenario. The said agency has taken an interest in the disease, which kills 99% of hogs it infects, as it spread in Asia last year and caused protein shortages. If it landed on American soil, it could harm the more than 100 million hogs on US farms, ultimately threatening food supplies. As governments around the world are discovering with COVID-19, testing can be crucial to s

March 24, 2020 Poland to kill almost 24,000 pigs Close to 24,000 pigs need to be killed following the outbreak of the African swine fever (ASF) in a farm in Western Poland. The disease had been detected in a farm in Niedoradz in the Lubuskie Voivodeship, according to the main veterinary office on Monday in Warsaw. The town is located 78 miles East of Guben. Focus of the operation was the production of piglets and fattening pigs. According to the figures, it was the first documented outbreak of ASF in domestic pigs this year.

Almost 5,000 pigs die in Indonesian regency
March 21, 2020 Almost 5,000 pigs die in Indonesian regency Bali's Tabanan regency in Indonesia has reportedly recorded 4,804 pig deaths since an unknown swine disease swept the island early this year. The officials are expecting the number to continue to rise as they try to contain the unidentified virus. "Not every district has been affected, we have more recorded in the districts of Tabanan and Kediri. Until now, the highlands are not as affected or seem to be safer at least…It's the lowlands where we see the most contagion," head of the Agricultural Agency in Tabanan, I Nyoman Budana said. The agency is reportedly amid a budget disbursement process to procure disinfectants that will be used for affected areas for the next three months. Authorities are also dealing with cases of irresponsible dumping of pig carcasses, with Tabanan police reportedly looking into several possible suspects and working with the regency's environmental agency to determine whether or not they can be charged with existing en

African swine fever outbreak reported in wild boar at Hubei, China
March 20, 2020 African swine fever outbreak reported in wild boar at Hubei, China China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) discovered African swine fever (ASF) among seven dead wild boar at the Shennongjia Forestry District in Hubei Province, reported The Epoch Times. MARA said the infection source is still unidentifiable, but suspect it is due to illegal movement of animals, swill feeding and possibly fomites. The new ASF outbreak had led to fears of another mass culling of swine in China, which could affect the country's food security and push prices for the meat soaring once more. The risk of a major ASF outbreak reoccurrence has come to light with more ASF outbreaks discovered in China's north and south borders by the World Organisation for Animal Health. 60% of China's first 21 ASF cases were linked to swine being fed swill, with the disease spreading between wild and domestic swine through the use of contaminated equipment and insects. Since the first ASF case was discovered i

March 17, 2020 ProVet requests inventory of Philippine province's swine population Antique's provincial government requested the agricultural technicians of its municipalities to submit an inventory of the swine population in their respective localities, through the Provincial Veterinary Office (ProVet). ProVet Public Health Division head Dr Marco Rafael Ardamil said they will be submitting the statistics to the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) to know the impact of the African swine fever (ASF) in the province. "In Antique, there is still no ASF case but that we need the figure as requested also by the BAI," he said on March 13. He added the municipal technicians are advised to report farms with swine that show signs and symptoms of ASF such as high fever, diarrhoea, and vomiting for the ProVet to validate.

African swine fever destroys small pig farms globally
March 13, 2020 African swine fever destroys small pig farms globally Small farmers across the globe are losing out following the African swine fever (ASF) outbreak that killed a quarter of the world's pig population. Nowhere is this more evident than China, where swine fever has hit the country's nearly 40 million small-scale pig farmers hardest, according to a report by Grain, a non-profit organisation. China's long tradition of small-scale pig farming seems to be coming to an end because of a lack of government support to compensate for culled or diseased pigs, to pay for veterinary costs or chemicals for limiting the spread of ASF, and other biosecurity measures in existing facilities, according to Grain. "Unfortunately, small farmers are getting almost no support, from what we can see," said Devlin Kuyek, lead author of the report. After the first notification of the ASF outbreak in China in August 2018, the illness spread rapidly throughout the industry and led to the slaughter of millions of

First case of African Swine Fever in Philippine province kills 30 pigs
March 10, 2020 First case of African Swine Fever in Philippine province kills 30 pigs The first case of African swine fever (ASF) killed 30 pigs in a local farm in Barangay Cadaclan, San Fernando, La Union, the city government confirmed on March 8. "We immediately managed precautionary measures to control the spread of ASF in the city," said Dr Flosie Decena, city veterinary officer. The precautionary steps to manage and control the spread of ASF include the pre-emptive culling of hogs at ground zero and within 1-km radius, mapping the barangays within the 7-km radius, augmenting hygiene kits and also providing financial assistance to the backyard hog raisers. "This was done Saturday night to take an immediate action from the city along with the Department of Agriculture and the Provincial Government of La Union," Decena added. According to an initial report, Decena said the owner of the said farm accepted several piglets last January from a friend in Bauang town to raise and sell not knowing that these
