Swine Farm Management: Tackling ASF through effective global feed strategies

Published 2024년 8월 5일

Tridge summary

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a significant challenge for swine farm management globally, especially in the Asia Pacific region. The disease, which affects pigs and poses a threat to food security, is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected pigs or contaminated materials like feed. ASF contamination results in high mortality rates and significant economic losses for farmers. Dr. Francisco Domingues highlights the importance of feed hygiene in mitigating disease transmission and discusses the use of feed sanitizers, such as Termin-8 and Finio, which offer extended protection against recontamination. These feed sanitizers have been shown to effectively reduce viral contamination in feed and provide long-lasting protection against recontamination, safeguarding feed from viral and bacterial challenges until consumption.

African Swine Fever (ASF) has become a significant challenge for swine farm management globally and continues to persist in Asia Pacific. With numerous outbreaks affecting pig populations across the region, ASF poses a severe threat to the swine industry and food security. Effective management and control measures are crucial to mitigate the impact of this disease. ASF is a viral disease that affects domestic and wild pigs. The virus is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected pigs, their tissues, blood, or secretions, and also indirectly through contaminated materials like feed, equipment and vehicles. The epidemiological scenarios differ across regions due to variations in virus virulence and host immunity. ASF's high environmental resistance and ease of transmission via direct or indirect contact exacerbate its spread. As a result, feed has been repeatedly evaluated as a potential vector and its management can play a critical role in mitigating disease ...
