China approved a fresh outbreak of African swine fever on 2 farms in Heilongjiang province on the first day of the week, the Ministry of agriculture said in a statement posted on its website. This follows in the footsteps of last Friday's outbreak in Sichuan province and the first discovery of the disease in Boar in Baishan metropolis, Jilin periphery.

Chinese civil servants talk, in fact that they deal with at least some behavior that slows down or covers cases of the disease, which is told, is told in a Reuters note. 

” (China) will need to do a better job of managing pigs and the importance of the management of biosecurity animals, and increase disease surveillance at pig farms,"said the first day of the week Deputy Minister of agriculture Yu Kanjani.

The trick of Sichuan's disease follows in the footsteps of November. 9 ban on the import of live pigs and pig products from other areas in order to prevent the importation of ASF in the province. Unfortunately, these efforts were not crowned with triumph, talks Paul Sundberg, Executive Director of the center of information about the health of pigs. 

” Sichuan and Henan provinces with large swine creation, in fact that makes up more than 30% of the joint size of Chinese production, " Sandberg said. "The Sichuan periphery killed 69 million of the approximately 700 million pigs produced by China in 2016.”

Yu still urged the authorities to fight against uncontrolled slaughter of animals and not to allow meat of the animals who died from this disease to get to the market.

But the disease does not pose a threat to human health, food production does not kill the microbe. This is a serious concern when leftovers are fed to pigs or thrown close to wild pigs.

Since the beginning of August, China has reported more than 65 outbreaks of this deadly disease.
