On August 12, according to information from the People's Committee of Nghe An province, from the beginning of 2024 until now, there have been 145 African swine fever outbreaks in 20 districts and urban areas in the province, with 3,470 infected pigs destroyed.
Among them, some localities have many outbreaks such as Thanh Chuong district (27 outbreaks), Do Luong (18 outbreaks), Anh Son (14 outbreaks), Yen Thanh (14 outbreaks), Nghi Loc (12 outbreaks). Currently, there are 15 outbreaks that have not lasted more than 21 days.
The cause of the epidemic is that many localities are subjective, negligent, and lack drastic measures in directing and deploying anti-epidemic activities, and have not completely and promptly destroyed them, leading to a lingering and prolonged epidemic.
Vaccination rates for livestock herds are low, especially since most localities do not direct vaccination against African swine fever for pork herds.
Restocking, increasing herds, transporting, slaughtering, and consuming animals and animal products have not been strictly and thoroughly controlled according to regulations. Cases of not vaccinating pigs with mandatory vaccines have not been strictly handled...
Since then, the People's Committee of Nghe An province has requested the Chairman of the district People's Committee and leaders of relevant departments, branches and units to focus on performing tasks to strengthen the prevention, control and control of African swine fever. in the province promptly and effectively.
At the same time, the Provincial People's Committee will consider handling the responsibility of the leader if he is subjective or negligent in leadership and direction, allowing the epidemic to spread widely in the management area.
