How long after African swine fever can pigs be raised again?

The outbreak of African swine fever is a very painful blow for many farmers. They also do not know how to go about the related work in the future, so how long after African swine fever can pigs be raised? Let us take a look together!

1. How long after African swine fever can pigs be raised

At present there is no clear time rule. First there is a 42-day period, that is, 42 days after no further cases occur, the affected area is no longer under lockdown. But whether pigs can continue to be raised depends on the local farming environment and overall conditions.

2. How to treat African swine fever

Although the topic of African swine fever keeps spreading, no vaccine capable of effectively preventing African swine fever has yet been developed anywhere in the world. So in daily life everyone must do the following:

1. Strictly control the entry of people, vehicles and susceptible animals into the farm; people, vehicles and items entering and leaving the farm and its production areas must strictly implement measures such as disinfection.

2. Raise pigs in confinement as much as possible, adopt isolation and protective measures, and try to avoid contact with wild boars and Ornithodoros soft ticks.

3. It is strictly forbidden to use swill or food waste to feed pigs.

4. Actively cooperate with the local animal disease prevention and control agency in carrying out disease monitoring and investigation; in particular, in cases such as vaccine immunization failure against swine fever or death from unknown causes, report promptly to the local veterinary department.

For different regions, temperature changes and the farming environment are all key, so everyone must not be careless.
