PARIGI - The Government of Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi (Central Sulawesi) said that the pigs that died suddenly in the district were based on the results of laboratory tests positive for the African Swine Fever (ASF) virus. According to data from related agencies, around 11,462 pigs were sick, then around 1,582 tails died. "In order to prevent transmission, we suggest that farmers routinely clean their cages, including spraying disinfectant liquids," said Head of the Parigi Moutong Pornawati Said's Livestock and Health Service (DPKH) quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 8. He explained, this virus is very dangerous for pigs, if one animal has been exposed, then transmission to other livestock will be fast. Because, ASF is the latest virus that attacks pigs, and no vaccines or bidders have been found, so it is important for farmers to keep cages clean and livestock clean. "This virus is not a pig flu that is indicated to be infectious to humans," he said. According to data related agencies, around 11,462 pig tails were sick, then around 1,582 were killed, while the livestock sold and forcibly cut in a sick condition were 16,576 tails, and handled by about 4,380 tails. The raisers are also advised to isolate, and not sell their livestock outside the region, so that prevention can be carried out more effectively. This is in accordance with the circular of Parigi Moutong Regent, prohibiting for the time to temporarily distribute or trade pigs outside the region, and sick livestock are immediately cut and buried immediately and do not allow carcasses in an open place.

"We urge farmers not to throw away pig carcasses in rivers, irrigation or the sea. It is better if the carcass is planted according to procedure so as not to cause odor," he said. DPKH Parigi Moutong has currently proposed a budget for the procurement of medicines to minimize transmission, and the local government has also received disinfectant assistance from the Central Sulawesi Provincial Government (Pemprov), and has now distributed it to four sub-districts, namely Sausu, Torue, Balinggi and Parigi Selatan.
