Viet Nam has reported an outbreak of African Swine Fever and China reports it had another outbreak, bringing its total to more than 100 since August.
China’s outbreak in the city of Beihai in Guangxi killed 924 animals in two farming communities with 23,555 pigs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said in a statement on its website.
Vietnam’s authorities have culled all the pigs on the farms located in Hung Yen and Thai Binh provinces, southeast of the capital Hanoi, the department said.
Pork accounts for three quarters of total meat consumption in Vietnam, a country of 95 million people.
