[Livestock and Fisheries News=Reporter Nara Park] The Chungnam Province has launched a special epidemic prevention plan to prevent the spread of livestock infectious diseases during the winter season. The province announced that from today until March of next year, it will implement comprehensive epidemic prevention activities to guard against disaster-type livestock infectious diseases such as highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), African swine fever (ASF), and foot-and-mouth disease. To this end, an epidemic prevention situation room will be set up in 24 locations, including cities, counties, the Animal Hygiene and Epidemic Prevention Support Headquarters, and agricultural cooperatives, maintaining a 24-hour emergency response system. Key measures include controlling access to 42 points in 17 major migratory bird arrival sites, temporarily restricting duck farming (from November 2025 to February 2026), and identifying 66 cities and counties nationwide at risk of ASF.
