African swine fever outbreak reported in Poland, close to Germany's border
December 5, 2019 African swine fever outbreak reported in Poland, close to Germany's border Poland's Agriculture Minister Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski said 21 wild boars have died from African swine fever (ASF), reported The Associated Press. The ASF-infected wild boar was discovered near the town of Zielona Gora, which has been sealed off with a 56 km fence. Local hunters have been dispatched to kill the remaining wild boar in the area. The Agriculture Minister said the fencing is to safeguard swine farms in the neighbouring province around Poznan city, adding that the disease has not been discovered among Poland's swine farms. About 270,000 wild boars were hunted in east Poland earlier this year to prevent ASF from spreading to Ukraine. - The Associated Press

Vietnamese scientist awarded for creating diagnostic tests for pigs suffering diarrhea
December 2, 2019 Vietnamese scientist awarded for creating diagnostic tests for pigs suffering diarrhea Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has presented Vietnamese veterinary medicine student and scientist Mai Thi Ngan with an award for developing a simple, effective diagnostic test for the diarrhea virus in pigs. Ngan was given the 2019 Japan International Award for Young Agriculture Researchers at a ceremony last month held in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo. The award, also called the Japan Award, is conferred by Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Ngan has created an economical diagnostic test and pooled testing system for detection of the virus that causes diarrhea epidemics in pigs. She attributed her motivation for the research to the challenge of controlling epidemics among cattle and poultry in Vietnam due to the lack of awareness and response capabilities among farmers. Initially, she chose the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method to make c

Japan to tighten border inspections for African swine fever
November 27, 2019 Japan to tighten border inspections for African swine fever The government plans to give quarantine officers at airports additional powers to prevent African swine fever (ASF) from making its way into the country, reported NHK World Japan. Japan's Agriculture Ministry is proposing new legal amendments to stop ASF from entering Japan by air. The proposal will give quarantine officers the power to inspect travellers' baggage for meat products without their consent, and allow the officers to question travellers to find out if they are carrying meat products. Also part of the new legal amendments are stiffer penalties for those who carry unauthorised meat products into Japan. These include a three-year prison sentence or fine of US$9,200. Additionally, the officials can cull uninfected swine that are raised near ill swine. The proposed legal amendments by the Agriculture Ministry will be submitted to the 2020's Diet ordinary session. This follows the Agriculture's Ministry other bi

Latvia reports two-third drop in African swine fever cases
November 27, 2019 Latvia reports two-third drop in African swine fever cases The country's Food and Veterinary Service said 357 wild boars tested positive for African swine fever (ASF) between January to October this year, lower than the 961 cases reported in the same period in 2018, reported Xinhua News. The veterinary authority said ASF cases have dwindled as the wild boar population in Latvia has decreased, following the culling of ASF-infected swine and the country's active hunting measure. Martins Serzants, Latvia Food and Veterinary Service senior expert said wild boars are the source of ASF in the country, so reducing its numbers is key to eradicating the disease which has no vaccine. He added that the hunting of wild boars and halting of the increase in wild boar numbers theoretically eliminates ASF and potentially avoids a second ASF epidemic from hitting the country in the future. Among domestic swine livestock in Latvia, only one ASF case has been reported in 2019, down from the ten cases

Philippines' Department of Agriculture calls for pork bans to be lifted among provinces
November 27, 2019 Philippines' Department of Agriculture calls for pork bans to be lifted among provinces The country's Department of Agriculture (DA) has yet to finalise its zoning plan to contain and eliminate African swine fever (ASF) from further spreading in Philippines, reported The Rappler. Ariel Cavanan, Agriculture Undersecretary called for governors to lift the ban on live swine and swine products in their provinces, and for governors to be open to agreements with the government and swine industry. It has been two months since the DA announced the zoning plan, which would declare the following areas ASF-free – Visayas, Mindanao, and Mimaropa in Luzon. These ASF-free declared zones will be free to trade swine and swine products within the Philippines. The DA is still working on the final parameters of the zoning plan. Local government units (LGU) were unhappy over the DA's ASF guidelines, resulting in a number of provinces and cities to enforce a total ban of swine and swine products in their

Philippines and Romania suffer major swine losses from African swine fever
November 22, 2019 Philippines and Romania suffer major swine losses from African swine fever The US National Pork Board's Pork Checkoff estimated Philippines and Romania to have suffered the most swine losses in Asia and Europe respectively due to African swine fever (ASF). Citing a World Organisation of Animal Health global ASF report, 45,670 swine in the Philippines and 20,069 swine in Romania have been killed due to ASF or culled in ASF-infected zones. The Philippines has intensified efforts to curb the spread of ASF in the country. This includes the installation of an automated, modern road bath disinfection facility for animal transport carrier vehicles, plus a quarantine and biosecurity checkpoint to halt the spread of ASF. In addition to the above measures, the Philippines has also strengthened its border control at ports, seizing several ASF-positive products from China. The UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs reported Romania's major swine losses are due to non-compliant hol

Japan seeks China's cooperation to combat potential African swine fever spread
November 22, 2019 Japan seeks China's cooperation to combat potential African swine fever spread A memorandum was signed by Japan's Agricultural Ministry and China's government office in charge of quarantine to prevent illegal pork imports, reported NHK Japan. While African swine fever (ASF) has spread throughout China and most of Asia, Japan has reported no cases of the diseases so far. Taku Eto, Japan Agricultural Minister said both countries will devise methods to prevent the illegal import of pork into Japan and collaborate in technical areas related to preventing the spread of ASF in the country. Specifically, tourists from China will be informed under no circumstances that they are allowed to transport pork products to Japan. Japan's Agricultural Ministry said the ASF genome has been identified in pork products from China, brought in through Japan ports and airports since October 2018. - NHK Japan

China investigates illegal production of ASF vaccines
November 20, 2019 China investigates illegal production of ASF vaccines China's agriculture ministry is investigating the illegal production, sale and use of African swine fever (ASF) vaccines in the country. Online reports have circulated of pig farmers using unapproved vaccines in an attempt to stop the spread of ASF. The race to find a vaccine for ASF is not a new one - researchers have been trying to find a vaccine for decades. However, China's devastating outbreak has fueled more research into vaccines for this deadly virus. In September, China's ministry of agriculture said experimental, homemade or even smuggled vaccines could present biological safety risks to the country. The agency also strongly discouraged farms from using overseas vaccines as vaccines based on other virus strains could worsen the situation, Bloomberg reported. Meanwhile, China's agriculture minister Han Changfu told officials with nine regional governments to speed up their efforts to raise pig breeding numbers, while addin

US pork producers committed to responsible antibiotic use
November 20, 2019 US pork producers committed to responsible antibiotic use 60,000 US pig farmers are dedicated to raising healthy animals to ensure a safe food supply. Today, that commitment means placing a high priority on using antibiotics responsibly for the health of people, pigs and the planet. As this year's US Antibiotic Awareness Week and World Antibiotic Awareness Week (November 18-24), gets underway, US pig farmers want to highlight their ongoing efforts to achieve excellent antibiotic stewardship and their determination to seek improvement. "Using antibiotics responsibly is something that pig farmers are doing every single day," said David Newman, National Pork Board's president. "Antibiotic Awareness Week is a good time to reinforce this stewardship by reviewing herd-health plans and the best practices found in the Pork Quality Assurance Plus certification programme. It's also a good time to involve all animal caretakers and continue to raise their awareness about the role they play in re
