It's another pig shipment. According to the animal husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs reported, November 10, in Chongqing Qijiang District of Gunan Street Daoqiao River highway under the entrance of the detected illegal transfer of pigs from other provinces in the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. There were a total of 118 pigs in this batch, and one pig became ill without death.
At present, it is a critical time for the replenishment of pig enclosures, and the transportation of breeding pigs and piglets is frequent, with illegal transportation occurring from time to time, leading to a greater risk of trans-regional transmission of the epidemic. According to incomplete statistics, there have been at least 15 cases of African swine fever this year, all caused by illegal transportation.
Why do outbreaks caused by illegal pig transport occur frequently? This is not in the hearts of some farmers, driven by interests. Ignoring the requirements of national laws and regulations on epidemic prevention and selling problematic pigs illegally for personal gain; Some pig purchasing and trafficking personnel illegally trafficked pigs through gang crimes, "online contact, offline purchase" and other means, knowing that the piglets became sick and died, which may cause major animal epidemics. Moreover, there were illegal behaviors such as transport vehicles not registered, no animal quarantine certificate, and no livestock ear tags.
Livestock farmers must be familiar with the characteristics of recent illegal pig transport activities, and fully understand the risk of epidemic transmission if they buy pigs without animal quarantine certificates, without livestock ear tags and transport vehicles without records. At the same time, unite the vast number of farmers to prevent, timely report illegal pig transport clues. In addition, we will implement a 24-hour reporting system for transprovincially transported non-breeding pigs and a quarantine and observation system for transprovincially transported breeding pigs to ensure that they reach the receiving station. Those who violate national regulations on epidemic prevention must be held accountable in accordance with the law and set an example to others.
