Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock and Food Minister Kim Hyun-soo said: “I will issue a temporary suspension order (Stand Steel) in the Gyeonggi-Gangwon region and kill the farms and pigs raised in the surrounding area. The restocking process is also temporarily suspended. “
Minister Kim, head of ASF Accident Response Headquarters, said in a briefing to strengthen quarantine measures related to outbreaks of African swine fever held at the Sejong Government Complex on the morning of the 9th: “We will further strengthen quarantine measures to prevent additional cases of African swine fever.
The day before (8), during inspection of pigs at a slaughterhouse in Cheorwon, 3 out of 8 mother sows (sows) shipped from a pig farm in the Hwacheon area were confirmed. The Headquarters of Agricultural, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine examined the samples from the pig mother, and it was confirmed that it was confirmed by ASF at 5 in the morning of the day.
Minister Kim said, “According to ASF confirmation, a temporary suspension order was issued for pig farm slaughterhouses and feed mills in Gyeonggi and Gangwon for 48 hours from 5 a.m. on the 9th to 9:00 p.m. 5 am on the 11th “. It was decided to kill the pigs raised in Pig Farm No. 2 within 10 km of the city and nearby. “
It was only one year after African swine fever occurred in pig farms in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, on October 9 last year. The specific cause of the infection is still unknown.
Some raise the possibility of contact with wild boar, where individuals positive for African swine fever have consistently appeared. The farm where the African swine fever occurred this time is only 250 meters from the point where the wild boar positive individuals occurred on July 27. However, since the farm has been under intensive management, such as restricting the movement of pigs and manure vehicles and the farm’s operating stations, epidemiological ancestors are expected to reveal the exact route of entry.
The heavy water supply plans to strengthen quarantine measures to prevent more cases of ASF in the future. First, it is planned to carry out intensive disinfection of roads, rivers and livestock facilities close to the recent ASF emergence by mobilizing a wide area control unit and disinfecting vehicles. With regard to the 12 remaining pig farm in Hwacheon-gun, measures were taken such as stopping the movement of pigs, banning manure extraction, and designating a specific feeding vehicle. It was decided to temporarily suspend the restocking process for pig farms that had been slaughtering and buying domestic pigs due to the outbreak of African swine fever last year, and are currently seeking restocking (breeding).
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also said at the ASF situation countermeasures meeting that day: “The Minister of Agriculture and Food should closely cooperate with relevant organizations to take thorough preventive measures for the first time in accordance with the Handbook”. Make sure that on-site quarantine measures are fully implemented. “
