Destroy pigs infected with African Swine Fever

According to the assessment of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Fisheries, the current weather situation is extremely complicated with hot weather and heavy rain, which is a favorable condition for the ASF virus to spread rapidly. The epidemic is currently tending to gradually move to the old Vinh Phuc area. However, according to the Department's assessment, the epidemic has not yet reached its peak, so local authorities in the province are strengthening inspection and control of pig slaughter, transportation of pigs and pig products to control the further spread of the disease.

To prevent, combat and control ASF in a timely and effective manner in the province, farmers and people need to strictly comply with the local government's regulations on disease prevention and control: Do not hide the disease; do not trade or transport sick or dead pigs; do not slaughter or consume sick or dead pigs; do not throw dead pigs into the environment and do not use untreated leftover food to feed pigs.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested local authorities, functional forces, and specialized agencies to: Resolutely handle and destroy sick and suspected sick pigs. Proactively implement policies to support farmers suffering losses due to epidemics in accordance with the law; prevent and strictly handle cases of buying, selling, transporting sick pigs, and dumping dead pigs that spread disease and pollute the environment.

Strengthen management, patrol, control and supervision of the transportation of pigs and pig products; organize prevention and strict handling of cases of illegal transportation of pigs and pig products into wards and communes; detect and strictly handle cases of trading, transporting and slaughtering pigs that do not ensure requirements on disease prevention, control and food safety.

Promote information and widespread propaganda in many forms about the dangerous nature of ASF, the risk of disease recurrence and spread, disease prevention measures and the use of ASF vaccine for pigs according to the instructions of the Department of Agriculture and Environment.
