      China reports new cases of African swine fever in illegally transported piglets


      China announced today (30 March) that new cases of African swine fever have been confirmed in piglets illegally transported to the Inner Mongolia region.

      by The Pig Site
      30 March 2020, at 10:43am
      The latest African swine fever outbreak, detected in a herd of 200 piglets on a farm in Ordos city in the region, has killed 92 of the animals.
      China has reported several new cases of the deadly disease this month - its agriculture ministry announced on 12 March that Sichuan province had detected ASF on a truck transporting 111 pigs illegally transported from other provinces.


      The deadly disease, first detected in China in August 2018, is estimated to have slashed the country's hog herd by almost 50 percent. As both the world's biggest importer and producer of pork, China is now unable to produce enough to satisfy its domestic market demands. This month China announced that it is encouraging companies to build pig farms overseas to plug the severe domestic pork shor

        ...According to an announcement on the website of China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, there were six ASF breakouts in March, including one in Inner Mongolia that claimed the lives of 92 pigs.

        Since the viral disease broke out among wild boars in Hubei Province on March 3, three other breakouts have happened in Sichuan Province on March 12, 13, and 28, respectively, with another taking place in Henan Province. All six outbreaks were said to have been caused by pigs illegally imported from other provinces...

                China detects African swine fever in another pig truck
                [Reuters]
                Reuters•April 21, 2020

                BEIJING (Reuters) - China's agriculture ministry said on Tuesday it had detected the deadly African swine fever virus in pigs transported to the southwestern province of Sichuan, the latest in a dozen such cases in the last two months.

                China has been battling African swine fever since August 2018, after the disease spread rapidly throughout the world's top pork producer, killing millions of pigs and sending pork prices soaring.

                In the latest incident the virus was found in pigs on a truck stopped for inspection in Nanjiang county near Bazhong city. The truck carried more than 100 pigs and two had died, the ministry said...

                  China has been battling African swine fever (ASF) since August 2018, after the disease spread rapidly throughout the world's top pork producer, killing millions of pigs and sending pork prices soaring.

                  In the latest incident the virus was found in pigs on a truck stopped for inspection in Nanjiang county near Bazhong city. The truck carried more than 100 pigs and two had died, the ministry said.

                  Cases reported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs had dwindled to just a couple per month by the end of last year, but 13 ASF cases have been posted on the ministry's website since March.

                    Cases of African Swine Fever In China Climbing Once Again
                    APR 30, 2020 03:33 PM
                    Charleston Lim

                    China is currently fighting two highly contagious diseases, one that is killing people and another that is killing pigs. The country has already pretty much brought the coronavirus pandemic under control within its borders, which is what it believed it had also done with the African swine fever epidemic. However, new reports have revealed that swine fever cases may be going back up once again.

                    Since mid-November of last year, China saw continually declining reports of new swine fever cases. The country had taken drastic measures to mitigate the spread of the disease, including the culling of more than 120 million hogs across the country. In February, Chinese health authorities had declared that the swine fever was under control.

                    According to reports, China's claim of the pandemic being under control may not be that accurate. Reports citing sources within China revealed that more than a dozen cases since the start of March had been recorded. Earlier this month, fresh cases of the virus were reported in the northwestern Gansu province. This was followed by an outbreak that was traced to a truck transporting 83 piglets to Leshan city in China's Sichuan province.

                            China floods blamed for fresh African swine fever outbreaks

                            BEIJING (Reuters) - Outbreaks of deadly African swine fever are surging in some parts of southern China following heavy rains, analysts and industry sources said, in what could be a big setback for Beijing's goal of replenishing pork supplies.

                            China's hog herd, by far the world's largest, shrank last year by around 180 million pigs, or 40%, after the incurable disease decimated farms. Pig producers are building new farms and restocking amid the push to restore lost pork production and tame runaway meat prices.

                            But while African swine fever outbreaks have declined, partly due to smaller herds and better hygiene, the disease remains an obstacle to herd recovery. African swine fever is typically fatal for pigs but does not affect people.

                            Heavy rains and flooding across China's south since mid-June appear to have triggered fresh cases, hurting restocking efforts, said Zheng Lili, chief analyst with consultancy Shandong Yongyi.

                            A Shandong Yongyi survey of small pig farmers, corporate farmers, traders and slaughterhouses in 20 provinces revealed dozens of African swine fever cases had occurred since the heavy rains in Guangdong province, the Guangxi region and other areas.

                            "Even the medium to large farms were hit," said Zheng.

                            Farmers typically bury infected pigs, and the rains may have spread the disease via groundwater, analysts said.

                            The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs reported a dozen outbreaks of the fever in March and April, however, indicating it was spreading before the rains.

                            The last case reported by the ministry occurred in Yunnan on June 5. Many outbreaks, though, go unreported...
