What are the seven preventive measures for African swine fever?

First, the measures to deal with the epidemic situation in transshipment were clarified. For the epidemic situation found in the transportation process, vehicles, boats, planes and other means of transport carrying sick pigs shall be taken as the epidemic point, and emergency measures shall be taken in time, and they shall not be persuaded to return. At the same time, local governments should carry out risk assessment of African swine fever, and determine whether to delimit epidemic areas, threatened areas and disposal measures according to the risk assessment results.

The second is to adjust the scope of culling. It is clear that all the pigs in the epidemic area are culled, and the pigs in the epidemic area are strictly isolated and tested in the laboratory. Places with positive pathogen detection must be culled, and places with negative pathogens must completely eliminate the risk of epidemic spread before they can continue to be raised or slaughtered.

The third is to optimize the conditions for lifting the blockade. Sentinel pigs were introduced in the process of lifting the blockade of epidemic farms, and the time of lifting the blockade was shortened to 30 days by taking sentinel pig monitoring measures; For the epidemic situation of farms without fixed-point monitoring measures for pigs, the time for lifting the blockade is still 42 days.

Fourth, according to the performance of the main responsibility of the slaughterhouse, different arrangements were made for the time to resume production. After thorough cleaning and disinfection, laboratory testing and risk assessment, the slaughterhouse can resume production after 48 hours. It will take 15 days for the slaughterhouse epidemic discovered by the animal husbandry and veterinary department to resume production after taking the above measures.

Fifth, after the farm blockade is lifted, adjust the empty bar time. According to the actual situation of prevention and control, after lifting the blockade, clinical observation was carried out on the introduction of designated pigs by farmers who need to continue raising pigs in epidemic areas and epidemic areas. After 45 days of feeding, if there is no clinical abnormality and the laboratory test is negative, the column can be filled. The empty train time was shortened from 6 months stipulated in the original emergency plan to 45 days.
