Yesterday morning the count stood at 4 confirmed farm outbreaks of African Swine Fever since it was first detected just over a week ago in South Korea. Today, that number rises to 6.
Three farms were suspected, but two tested negative (`voice verdict').MAFRA - which has extensive experience dealing with outbreaks of both avian flu and FMD - ordered a 48-hour standstill on all pig farms and feed factories on Tuesday in hopes of containing this outbreak.
While ASF poses no human health threat, it can be devastating to the pork industry, and none of the other 8 Asian nations struck by the disease in the past 13 months have been able to arrest its spread.This (translated) statement was just recently posted on MAFRA's website.
