African swine fever
African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease affecting pigs and wild boar. It impacts the livelihoods of communities around the world due to its high
mortality rate and ability to spread quickly.
GUIDELINES FOR AFRICAN SWINE FEVER (ASF) PREVENTION AND CONTROL
IN SMALLHOLDER PIG FARMING IN ASIA
Clean chain approach for African swine fever in smallholder settings
This guideline outlines the principles of an African swine fever clean-chain system for smallholder pig producers in Southeast Asia, including the development of a business plan that defines the clean-chain system and the establishment of a partnership between
veterinary authorities and private sector stakeholders.
Culling and disposal of pigs in an African Swine Fever outbreak
This document provides guidance on planning and conducting pig culling and disposal operations in smallholder settings. It suggests conducting culling on-site to minimize handling and movement of animals and confirming death of the animals before disposal of
the carcasses.
Farm biosecurity, slaughtering and restocking
This guideline showcases good biosecurity measures such as using pig manure to produce biogas. It stresses that practical biosecurity measures must take a targeted approach considering the disease, livestock species and the farming system involved.
Monitoring and surveillance of ASF
This document provides guidance for government officials in defining surveillance objectives; establishing ASF-related case definitions and reporting criteria; and providing examples of potential ASF surveillance methods, including passive surveillance and
active surveillance.
African swine fever: The medium- term effects on agricultural markets
This paper aims to gauge the complex cross-commodity and cross-country effects of the African swine fever (ASF) over the medium-term, that is, within a ten-year time horizon. While focusing on meat and feed markets, it also assesses the effects of ASF on all
agricultural markets. The results are based on a number of counterfactual runs undertaken with the Aglink-Cosimo model, a global partial equilibrium framework jointly maintained by the secretariats of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The results will help decision makers to understand the extent to which ASF is likely to affect the various agricultural markets and help them prepare for the challenges and the opportunities
that may arise from a further spread of the disease.
