ASF outbreak at Inje pig farm in Gangwon-do in 8 days… I went to the scene
Input: 2021-08-16 18:26 Edit: 2021-08-16 22:31

A quarantine officer blocks entry at the entrance to a pig farm in Garisan-ri, Inje-eup, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, where African swine fever (ASF) occurred on the 16th.

The entrance to a pig farm in Garisan-ri, Inje-eup, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, on the afternoon of the 16th. The farm, which raises 1,700 pigs, was confirmed with African swine fever (ASF) on the same day.

Just 8 days after the outbreak of ASF at a pig farm in Haeseong-ri, Ganseong-eup, Goseong-gun, about 70km away, the atmosphere at the site was really cold when a pig was confirmed to be ASF confirmed again.

As in the case of the last confirmation of the Goseong pig farm, a temporary stop order (Standstill) was not issued in the province, but there were hardly any passers-by or general vehicles going to and from the village. It was clear how seriously the community took this ASF recurrence.

At the access control post installed at the entrance to the pig farm, quarantine officials wearing sky blue protective suits and masks, with only their eyes exposed, meticulously checked the vehicles and personnel entering the farm.

When the reporter stopped the car and looked over the post, he said, "What's going on? You mustn't come in here," an employee of the Livestock Sanitation and Prevention Support Headquarters issued a disapproval. He couldn't get any closer to the bloody tension. On the roads near the village, vehicles mobilized for quarantine were seen busily going back and forth with their emergency lights turned on and spraying liquid.

The pigs in the pig farm were confirmed with ASF on the afternoon of the 16th. As a result of a close inspection conducted by the quarantine authorities on farms that are epidemiologically related to the Goseong outbreak, it is known that the ASF virus was detected in two sow samples.

Due to the unexpected ASF outbreak, nearby residents were greatly shaken. One resident said, "(The pig farms) were more enthusiastic about quarantine than anyone else, but it's unfortunate that this happened." Another resident said, “It is true that the ASF virus has been continuously detected in the carcasses of wild boars found in the building, so it is true that there is no second or third damage.”

Gangwon-do dispatched six people, including animal quarantine and control officers, to the farmhouse and issued an order to kill them. In addition, we are actively blocking the spread by installing additional quarantine posts in the area and mobilizing all available disinfection vehicles.

There are no pig farms within 3km of the farm where the outbreak occurred, but one farm within a radius of 10km is raising about 2,000 pigs, increasing anxiety.

A provincial quarantine official said, “With the recent surge in wild boars, the risk of ASF outbreak has risen significantly. Please join us in observing the quarantine rules.”

It is 28 km away from Danseong-myeon, Danyang-gun, where 15 dead bodies have been confirmed since the first outbreak in the province on the 19th.

Fortunately, it is reported that there are no pig farms raising domestic pigs near the point of occurrence.

In particular, an additional wild boar has been found each in Daejam-ri, Danseong-myeon, and Daecheon-ri, Eosangcheon-myeon, Danyang, and testing is ongoing.

The livestock quarantine authorities are strengthening joint private, private, and military searches to remove pollutants around the outbreak site, while putting all their efforts into blocking and quarantine by installing a fence within a 3km radius of the outbreak site.

An official from North Chungcheong Province said, "As we are strengthening the search to remove pollutants around the outbreak site, there is a possibility that the number of ASF-infected carcasses may increase further for the time being. Please be sure to report it.”

Gyeonggi-do, Yang-gu to block ASF outbreak
Input: 2022.08.23 10:48:58


Gyeonggi Province announced on the 23rd that it is working hard to prevent the introduction of African swine fever (ASF) in a pig farm in Yanggu, Gangwon Province, on the 19th.

The close examination and clinical examination of 52 pig farms in Gyeonggi-do, which have an epidemiological relationship with ASF-affected farms in Yanggu, were confirmed to be negative.

A 21-day movement restriction is in effect for these farms.

Previously, Gyeonggi Province restricted the movement of pigs, workers, and vehicles throughout Gangwon-do for 48 hours after an ASF outbreak was confirmed in a farmhouse in Yang-gu.

Gyeonggi Province has entered into special management, including daily clinical and pre-shipment inspections, of 224 high-risk pig farms within 10 km of the wild boar quarantine zone.

In addition, as the outbreak of African swine fever in wild boars is spreading in Wonju, Gangwon and Chungju, Chungbuk, the 8 major quarantine facilities are to be completed in Yangpyeong and Yeoju pig farms, and the installation of facilities is being encouraged in Icheon, Yongin, and Anseong farms. .

Kim Jong-hoon, head of the Animal Quarantine and Hygiene Division of Gyeonggi-do, said, "African swine fever occurs in Gangwon-do every year from August to October. Pig farms in the province should do their best to operate quarantine facilities without letting go of tension,” he said.

Since the first outbreak of African swine fever in pig farms in Korea in September 2019, there have been 23 cases in 10 cities and counties nationwide, and 2,655 cases in 28 cities and counties nationwide in the case of wild boar.


In Gyeonggi-do, the last occurrence in Yeoncheon on October 9, 2019 has not occurred so far.

African swine fever confirmed at Yeongdeok pig farm… First outbreak in Gyeongbuk region

Newsis Entered 2024.01.16 22:24 Modified 2024.01.16 22:24

Order to temporarily suspend movement for 48 hours... Emergency culling of over 500 animals, first occurrence outside of Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Gangwon... Request to comply with quarantine rules

[Sejong = Newsis] Reporter Oh Jong-taek = African swine fever (ASF) occurred in a pig farm in Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. This is the first outbreak among pig farms in three months since September last year and the first in the Gyeongbuk region.

The African Swine Fever (ASF) Central Accident Control Headquarters (Director Song Mi-ryeong, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) announced on the 16th that a suspected pig death report was received at a pig farm in Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and as a result of a thorough inspection, positive livestock (12 heads) were confirmed.

In order to prevent the spread of African swine fever, the Central Defense Agency dispatched an initial quarantine team and epidemiological investigation team to the farm in question and is controlling entry to the farm by outsiders, livestock, and vehicles. In addition to the epidemiological investigation, about 500 pigs raised on the farm are planned to be culled in accordance with emergency action instructions (SOP).

This is the first domestic African swine fever outbreak in three months and this year since it occurred in Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do on September 25 last year. Since the first outbreak of African swine fever in Korea in September 2019, a total of 39 cases have been reported at pig farms. By region, there were 17 cases in Gyeonggi, 5 in Incheon, and 16 in Gangwon, and this is the first time it has spread to other regions.

Since October last year, African swine fever virus has been detected in wild boars in Pohang and Yeongcheon, and on the 9th, it was also confirmed in wild boars in Uiseong-gun, and concerns about its spread have continued.

In order to prevent contamination in the outbreak area, the heavy water treatment center is mobilizing available disinfection resources to intensively disinfect pig farms and surrounding roads in the Yeongdeok-gun area. A temporary movement suspension order was issued for workers and vehicles at livestock-related facilities such as pig farms, slaughterhouses, and feed factories in Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions for 48 hours from 8 p.m. on the 16th to 8 p.m. on the 18th.

An official from Jungsubon said, "To prevent the spread of African swine fever, related agencies and local governments must make every effort to take quarantine measures such as rapid culling, detailed inspection, and intensive disinfection." He added, "Pig farms have basic basics such as disinfecting the inside and outside of the farm and wearing quarantine clothing." “Please follow the quarantine rules,” he asked.
