African swine fever has occurred in wild boars in Shennongjia. What response measures have been taken by relevant units?

Mainly include killing, disinfection and harmless treatment. These measures can prevent the spread of the epidemic and prevent domestic pigs and wild boars in other areas from being infected. Most of this hunting is carried out in the entire region and even surrounding areas. The specific operations are detailed below:

1. Hunting and killing. Because wild boars are mobile, although the forest area in Shennongjia is relatively sparsely populated, there are still many pig farmers. Under the current circumstances, some pig farmers will choose to crossbreed sows with mountain wild boars. This concludes The piglets will have higher resistance, but when the African swine fever epidemic has occurred, such an operation is dangerous. If you are not careful, all the pigs of the farmer may be infected. However, we are not completely sure which one is infected, so we usually kill them all with the attitude of killing them all.

2. Disinfection. This kind of disinfection is done in two stages. One is that all farmers disinfect the pig pens, pig raising environment, and tableware. This kind of disinfection can prevent the infection of domestic pigs and ensure the safety of farmers; the other is that in the mountains and wild areas According to the news, disinfection in the mountains is difficult, but it still needs to be carried out. Most of the time, drones spray disinfection items. If traces of wild boars are found, they will be disinfected on wild boar nests and wild boar marks. There are also disinfectants around water sources in the mountains. Powder, or build an artificial pool next to the water source to soak in disinfectant, and use food to attract wild boars into the pool for bathing and disinfection.

3. Harmless treatment. The harmless treatment here is not the "eating" that everyone ridicules, but after the quarantine, what should be buried, of course, can still be eaten, and some of it will be given to the research institute to study the value of wild boars. Such as disease resistance, etc., and this kind of operation is a routine operation in the wild boar forest area. Of course? Edible? If it spreads, some netizens will curse it to death, so most of it is used for research.

Finally, there is the control of the quarantine department. The local quarantine department is strictly inspecting domestic pigs and pig products to prevent pork containing African swine fever from entering the market.
