Scientists around the world continue to struggle to create a vaccine against ASF. Every now and then from different countries, there are reports about the invention of medicinal products, but for their production long-term studies are needed.
While scientists can not offer anything, the authorities of Transbaikalia advise farmers to forget about raising pigs and try themselves in alternative animal husbandry.
The Ministry of Agriculture of the Territory speaks of a tense zoo-veterinary situation and recommends that the Transbaikal people think about switching to "other areas of animal husbandry." At the same time, those in power emphasize that they advise, rather than order.
The Ministry of Agriculture of the Territory made an appeal to village entrepreneurs, in which it proposed to switch to other areas of animal husbandry, taking into account the recommendations of the operational headquarters of the Russian commission, which is engaged in preventing the spread and elimination of ASF in Russia.
At the same time, veterinary services are already ready for massive outbreaks of African swine fever, and in the region introduced high alert.
Meanwhile, ASF does not stop, conquering all the new countries of the world on its way. Recently, the disease was recorded in South Korea.
From the middle of last month to the present, 9 cases of the disease among wild and domestic pigs have been confirmed. The country has already destroyed 67 thousand pigs. If another case near Seoul is confirmed, the total number of recycled pigs will be equal to 94 thousand.
