Malaysian farm sees 100 pigs die after high fever
January 26, 2005 Malaysian farm sees 100 pigs die after high fever More than 100 pigs recently died in a farm in Paya Mengkuang, about 40km from Malacca with preliminary reports showing that the animals had suffered from high fever. The animals suddenly collapsed and died between Jan 20 and 25. The cause of the fever is still not clear, State Human Resources, Health and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Seah Kwi Tong said today. "We do not yet know what caused the fever," Seah said. "It could be food poisoning, but we do not rule out the possibility of a viral infection." The actual cause would only be known after a complete report was received from the State Veterinary Services Department later today, he said. The report will be submitted to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam tomorrow at the State Executive Council meeting. A statement would be released to the Press after that, Seah said. Asked if workers at the farm had been screened for any possible infection, he said only the owner

Study Findings to Benefit Thailand's Pork Exports
December 17, 2004 Study Findings to Benefit Thailand's Pork Exports Recent research in Thailand has shown that yoghurt is beneficial to piglets. According to a study conducted in the Asian country, yoghurt is able to cure diarrhoea in pigs, one of the main killers of piglets in local farms. "Yoghurt works perfectly in curing piglets that have been infected with ecoli bacteria," stated Dr. Tassanee Apichartsarangkura, a researcher of Chiang Mai University's Agriculture Faculty. Piglets fed with yoghurt twice a day can be cured within two days. The success rate is 90 percent higher than any anti-biotic medicines. The best quality of yoghurt is that it leaves no chemical residue in the pork, she added. These findings should benefit Thailand's exports of pork products. Excessive anti-biotic residue in pork products can cause them to be rejected. Thai food exports could then be affected in the long run. Dr. Tassanee's research was sponsored by the government-run Institute of Science and Technology Develop

Japan Suspends South Korean Pork Imports After Suspected Hog Cholera Case
November 29, 2004 Japan Suspends South Korean Pork Imports After Suspected Hog Cholera Case Japan has temporarily banned South Korean pork imports after blood samples from pigs on Jeju Island tested positive to cholera antibodies, according to the Agriculture Ministry on Monday. Park Hyun-chool, director general of the ministry's Livestock Bureau in South Korea, said the pigs had been injected with vaccination shots and had not been exposed to cholera directly. "We know farmers gave the pigs the shots, but we are trying to figure out why they did so when such actions are prohibited on the island," he said. The island sold 628 tons of pork worth US$2.8 million from May to October.

Hong Kong to Launch Pig Vaccination Soon
November 23, 2004 Hong Kong to Launch Pig Vaccination Soon A vaccination programme for pigs against Japanese encephalitis will be launched before summer next year, according to Hong Kong's Director of Agriculture, Fisheries & Conservation Thomas Chan. Mr Chan stated that Japanese encephalitis virus will become more active in warm weather. Therefore, it is time to work out and refine details of the vaccination programme for implementation before the coming summer. He expected the programme details to be finalised in several months, and the department is discussing the costs involved with the pig-raising sector. Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus. Culex tritaeniorhychus mosquitoes, the principal vector of Japanese encephalitis, are infected by feeding on infected pigs and wild birds. The virus can be transmitted to humans and animals through mosquito bites.

Pig Deaths in Papua New Guinea May Be Due to Swine Fever
November 9, 2004 Pig Deaths in Papua New Guinea May Be Due to Swine Fever Up to 3,000 pigs in Papua New Guinea may have been killed by a viral disease. Classical swine fever was suspected to be the culprit, but tests have been inconclusive, according to the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service. Surveillance work has been hampered by a lack of testing facilities, as well as PNG's remote and rugged geography. AQIS vet Dr John Curran says this shows they need to work with their Asian neighbours in order to improve the reporting of exotic animal diseases. "It's frustrating that there was a four-month time frame, in one instance, before one of the councilors in the village wrote a letter about the large number of pigs that had died in their village. "It's just all too late. "And we need to work to try and develop some sort of better communication system with the PNG quarantine and agricultural officials over there. "Things like going back to maybe trying to improve their HF radio systems, and

OIE Says Bird Flu Unlikely To Spread Among Pigs In China
September 15, 2004 OIE Says Bird Flu Unlikely To Spread Among Pigs In China A swift spread of bird flu amongst pigs in China now looks unlikely, claimed the Office International des Epizooties (OIE), the world animal health organisation. It has unveiled Chinese government tests on 4,447 tests on pigs between April and August from ten provinces, including Fujian where a pig was found with the duck-derived H5N1 strain. "No (further) infection has been detected in pigs", said the OIE. "The above findings do not indicate any major evolution regarding H5N1 infection in pigs at this stage". This good news has been countered by a World Health Organisation announcement that the disease has jumped species again, to domestic cats, in Thailand.

WHO Urges Countries Hit By Bird Flu To Boost Pig Monitoring
August 30, 2004 WHO Urges Countries Hit By Bird Flu To Boost Pig Monitoring Countries hit by bird flu must boost their monitoring of pigs after Chinese scientists discovered that the animals have been carrying a deadly strain of the virus, a senior World Health Organization official said Friday. Klaus Stohr, head of WHO's global influenza program, also warned that fighting bird flu has become tougher because it has a solid hold in affected countries. China said last week that it had found two strains of avian flu in pigs, including the H5N1 strain of the disease that killed 27 people earlier this year in Vietnam and Thailand. Pigs, which are genetically similar to people, often carry the human influenza virus. Experts worry that pigs infected with both bird flu and its human equivalent could act as a "mixing bowl," resulting in a more dangerous, mutant virus that might spread to people more easily - and then from person to person. They fear that could fuel a devastating flu outbreak, vastly exc

China Claims Pig-Variant Bird Flu Not Epidemic
August 25, 2004 China Claims Pig-Variant Bird Flu Not Epidemic China says that although a highly lethal strain of the bird flu virus has been found in pigs, it does not constitute an epidemic. The state-run Beijing Times says the amount of the H5N1 strain extracted from pigs in the south-eastern province of Fujian last year was "extremely small". No mutation of the virus into a form more dangerous to humans has been found. Correspondents say the report is the latest official attempt at clarification. A respected scientist made the surprise announcement last week that H5N1 had been detected in pigs in 2003 for the first time. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has expressed concern over the discovery, and has been seeking as much information as possible.

China Confirms Presence Of Bird Flu Virus In Pigs Last Year
August 24, 2004 China Confirms Presence Of Bird Flu Virus In Pigs Last Year China has confirmed that a deadly strain of bird flu was found in pigs last year, raising questions about why international health and agriculture officials battling the virus were not alerted. The H5N1 bird flu virus, which has killed 27 people in Asia this year, was discovered in pigs as early as 2003, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported, citing the agriculture ministry. The official confirmation followed the startling announcement by a respected scientist that H5N1 was discovered in pigs in south-eastern Fujian province in 2003 at a conference last week. The remark by Chen Hualan, director of the China National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory, came as a surprise to World Health Organisation (WHO) representatives present at the seminar, who heard about it for the first time. Miss Chen called the finding "a rather dangerous signal in terms of public health." The ramifications of infection among pigs could be

Pig Flu Threat To Papua New Guinea
August 23, 2004 Pig Flu Threat To Papua New Guinea Swine Fever outbreak in the Indonesian province of Papua could spread to Papua New Guinea, devastating pig populations and threatening Australia's A$1.3 billion pork industry, a Queensland scientist said over the weekend. Associate Professor Lee Fitzpatrick, of James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville said Classical Swine Fever had killed an estimated 9000 domestic pigs in Indonesia's Papua Province since April. The highly contagious viral disease was believed to have been introduced to Papua among pigs brought in as part of an Indonesian food aid program. The disease did not affect humans but could cause mortality rates as high as 90 per cent among pigs, said Professor Fitzpatrick, who is the director of the Australian Institute of Tropical Veterinary and Animal Sciences. This outbreak could have drastic economic and social consequences for villagers in PNG. This is because pigs are not only a source of food, but have an important cultural significanc
