Does African classical swine fever first infect sows?

It can not be said that African swine fever is the first infection of sows, can only be said that the incidence of sows is relatively high. There are no more than three reasons: first, the loss of the body due to perennial breeding, delivery and lactation of sows; second, the decline of immune function; and third, the accumulation of toxins.

Prevention of classical swine fever in Africa:

1. When suspected symptoms of African classical swine fever are found, pigs should be isolated immediately, the movement of pigs should be restricted, and local village-level epidemic prevention workers or local veterinary institutions should be notified immediately. At the same time, disinfection should be done well and mobile supervision should be done in cooperation with relevant departments.

two。 Farms should reduce the number of off-site personnel and vehicles entering the pig farm, and thoroughly disinfect the personnel and vehicles before entering the farm.

3. Implement full-in and all-out feeding management for pigs, and implement isolation for newly introduced pigs. And farms have to declare quarantine regularly in accordance with the regulations.

4. When feeding pigs, do not use hogwash or waste from restaurants and canteens, and do not scatter them to avoid contact between domestic pigs and wild boars, and do not transport live pigs from epidemic areas to avoid potential viruses.

The incidence of classical swine fever in Africa is very short, and the infection rate and mortality rate are very high. Therefore, farmers must do a good job in prevention and management to avoid irreparable losses.
