African Swine Fever (ASF)

July 22, 2020 By Jo-VetNI

DAERA is currently running a UK-wide campaign to raise awareness of the risks of African Swine Fever (ASF) to pigs. Its important that they reach all pig keepers with their messages. Commercial pig keepers are aware of the risks of ASF but the level of awareness amongst small holders/pet pig keepers may not be so high.

DAERA is gather more information which will better inform them on how to support these sectors. They have created a survey which specifically targets small scale pig keepers.  Please share this with your full veterinary team and ask them to share the survey with small scale pig holders/pet pig owners.

The survey can be found here and more information is available on the Defra website at the following link Small scale pig keepers ASF survey

DAERA is grateful for your ongoing support with proactive messaging regarding vigilance, early reporting of suspected disease and importance of maintaining biosecurity. Anything we can do to improve our communications will help in keeping this devastating disease out of NI.
