How can we avoid African swine fever?

African swine fever is a viral disease. It is usually fatal for domestic and wild boars. There is no vaccine or treatment for this disease, and that is why it causes serious socio-economic problems in the affected countries. The virus lasts several months in the environment and in corpses. It should be noted that the preparation or smoking of pork does not destroy the virus. People do not get sick, but they help spread the virus through contaminated clothing or equipment. The clinical signs of the disease are variable and difficult to recognize. Affected animals may have one or more clinical signs, such as: high fever, apathy and inability to get up, vomiting, diarrhea, sometimes with blood, red spots on the skin, especially in the ears and throat, coughing and difficulty breathing, spontaneous abortions, dead fetus births and unsafe piglets. Most animals die in 10 days
❕❕❕
Contamination of healthy animals can occur in several ways: by direct contact of healthy pigs with patients by squeezing them with contaminated food residues by contact with contaminated materials and contact with people wearing contaminated clothing and shoes

Aradan authorities advise you to contact your veterinarian immediately if you think the animal is contaminated. Do not move animals from the farm or housekeeping and always change your clothes and shoes when leaving the farm or housekeeping. Before buying boreholes, litters and pigs, make sure they come from verified units that have implemented all the safety measures to avoid catching the virus. Make sure that the pigs in your household do not come into contact with wild boars or other pigs.
"Never feed pigs with food debris. Avoid raising pigs in outdoor enclosures in areas where African swine fever is evolving. The acquisition and transport of pork and meat from infected areas can spread the virus. Their hunters and their dogs must not come into contact with domestic pigs after the hunt. Farmers or hunters do not throw debris from the field or forest resulting from the evisceration of domestic pig carcasses or wild boars. Do not throw food or garbage in areas that may be frequented by wild boars and contact your veterinarian if you find dead boar, even if there is no African swine fever in the region,
