6 cases of African swine fever, 5 cases related to illegal transportation

Many places prohibit the transfer of live pigs across regions

On March 27, according to the website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Changsha County, Changsha, Hunan Province found out the African swine fever epidemic from illegally dispatched live pigs from other provinces

Cold Food Media inquired about the relevant information of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and found that there have been 6 African swine fever outbreaks in the past month, namely Funing County, Yunnan Province on March 2, Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and Fancheng, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province on March 5.

According to the content of the announcement of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it can be seen that 5 of them were detected in pigs transported in violation of regulations from other provinces

Since 2019, the six central and southern provinces have begun a pilot program to prohibit the transfer of live pigs (except breeding pigs) from non-central and southern regions

The hog embargo policy has been widely discussed in the industry for a long time

Judging from the investigation and handling of several epidemics this time, it proves that the live pig embargo policy is in line with the current prevention and control situation

The policy is favorable, and the stock of funds has not decreased.

With the sporadic outbreak of swine fever across the country, farmers and dealers are cautious about the future market

A farmer surnamed Li, located deep in the mountains of Yongning County, Yinchuan City, told Cold Food Media that as a small farmer, the current number of live pigs is maintained at about 400, and the number has not been reduced due to the epidemic

Although small and medium-sized farmers are afraid that the impact of the epidemic will reduce their inventory, in fact, with the increase of various policies and the enhancement of national prevention and control experience, the inventory of the pig industry is slowly recovering

Pork prices are still in a downward trend and will not change after the cross-regional embargo

Cold Food Media has inquired about the recent national pig prices and found that the current pork price is still in the downward range in the off-season, accompanied by short-term fluctuations

After the African swine fever epidemic was discovered locally, it shook the market to a certain extent

　　In addition, talk about the misunderstandings about the embargo on live pigs
