African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and deadly swine disease that can affect both farm- raised and wild pigs. ASF does not infect people but readily pass from one pig to another by direct contact, with bodily fluids from infected animals…As of today, there is no available vaccine that prevents ASF.
Why cull ASF infected/sick pigs?
Culling and proper disposal of infected pigs is the only solution to control ASF. Culling is preferably conducted on-site to minimize handling and movement of infected animals .
DA Administrative order No. 22, series of 2020 directs all government agencies and LGUs to strictly implement and comply with the National Zoning and Movement Plan. On the onset of the ASF outbreaks, protocol was conceptualized and introduced to manage contain and control the spread of the disease.
