ASF is the most serious challenge in pig production

This was stated by Vitaliy Bashynsky, a veterinarian and international consultant to FAO on veterinary medicine and food safety, AgroPortal reports, citing the Pig Breeders of Ukraine Association.

He noted that the lack of an effective treatment or vaccine makes biosecurity measures key to curbing the spread of the virus.

“Currently, African swine fever has not “taken over” the planet because of biosecurity measures. Not because of the vaccine, not because of any additional medicines, because there is no treatment for it,” the expert said.

He explained that biosecurity is a set of mandatory actions that help farmers protect their farms from infection, in particular by limiting contacts, disinfection, and strict control of processes on the farm.

Vitaliy Bashynsky emphasizes that no full-fledged vaccine against ASF has been created yet.
