In Chau Duc district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, three outbreaks of African Swine Fever were detected in August 2024.
A total of 39 affected pigs, including 35 fattening pigs and 4 sows, were culled due to the disease. Symptoms included high fever, subcutaneous hemorrhages, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
The main cause of outbreaks is the failure to adhere to biosecurity and disease prevention procedures in livestock farming.
Symptoms typically appear 5 to 10 days after selling slaughtered pigs and importing animal feed that has not been properly cleaned and disinfected.
African swine fever is still ongoing in 249 communes across 86 districts in 29 provinces and cities throughout Vietnam. To address the situation, authorities are intensifying efforts to educate and guide livestock farmers on disease prevention and surveillance measures, as well as controlling the slaughter and transportation of animals.
