Dak Lak Province has recorded over 1,000 pigs infected with African swine fever from 20 communes and towns across seven districts. According to the Dak Lak Province's Department of Livestock Production and Animal Health, the province has reported cases of African swine fever in 20 communes and towns across its seven districts. To date, Dak Lak Province has recorded over 1,000 infected pigs. After receiving reports from local residents, agricultural officials have conducted inspections, performed disinfection, and proceeded with the disposal of infected pigs.
Among the affected areas, Ea Sup District has reported outbreaks in eight communes and towns, with a total of 741 infected pigs. As a result, the district currently suffers the most extensive damage from the African swine fever. In response to the rapidly developing outbreak, the Ea Sup District People’s Committee has instructed local authorities and related agencies to continue monitoring African swine fever in the region. Furthermore, the District People’s Committee is mobilizing resources and funds to promptly contain the outbreak and form task forces to handle the disposal of sick and deceased pigs.
On the other hand, local officials have received instructions to prevent the dumping of pig carcasses into the environment, which can cause contamination and accelerate the spread of the disease. Moreover, they will disinfect local markets and areas near outbreak sites. Local officials will also closely monitor healthy pigs on farms in affected areas to prevent the sale of infected or potentially infected animals, which can pose a health risk to consumers.
Local authorities must strictly enforce laws against the transportation, trade, or slaughtering of pigs and pig products without clear origins or necessary veterinary certifications. In addition, they have established special task forces that visit each village and provide direct supervision over managing outbreaks and areas at high risk of the disease, with a focus on complying with current animal disease prevention regulations.
