Abstract

African swine fever is one of the main infectious diseases of large-scale pig farms. Once it occurs, it is bound to reduce the yield and quality of live pigs and affect the economic income of farmers. The prevention and control of ASF and the measures and specific implementation plans taken by small and medium-sized pig farms in various regions will further reduce the incidence of ASF, thus improve the economic benefits of pig farms, and finally realize the healthy, safe and sustainable pig industry.
