What is African classical swine fever?

African classical swine fever is an acute swine disease caused by African classical swine fever virus, which is highly contagious and lethal, with a fatality rate as high as 100%.

The main transmission vector of African classical swine fever is soft tick. Generally, sick sows will die first, then other pigs, and finally piglets.

The clinical manifestations are fever, dyspnea, rapid heartbeat, etc., serous or mucinous purulent secretions in the eyes and nose of pigs, cyanosis in the skin, obvious bleeding in lymph nodes, kidneys and gastrointestinal mucosa. The clinical symptoms of African classical swine fever are very similar to those of classical swine fever. It can only be confirmed by laboratory surveillance.

How many days does African classical swine fever usually die?

Pigs with African classical swine fever usually die within 10-15 days. African classical swine fever has a natural incubation period of 5-9 days, and its body temperature rises to 41 ℃ at the time of onset. It usually dies on the 7th day after fever, and on the 1st or 2nd day after severe fever.

Third, how to prevent African classical swine fever?

1. The entry and exit of pig farm staff, transport vehicles and easily infected animals need to be strictly controlled, and strict disinfection should be carried out when entering and leaving the farm to avoid carrying the virus to cause an epidemic in the pig farm.

2. Do not feed pigs with food waste and hogwash, so it is easy to get African classical swine fever.

3. In the event of an African classical swine fever epidemic, all live pigs should be culled and buried in time.
