Experts home in on pig death factor
- Lack of cell culture vaccine in region
The Telegraph | Guwahati, Aug. 24:
Non-availability of cell-cultured vaccines is resulting in pig mortality in the Northeast because of classical swine fever.
“No cell culture vaccine against classical swine fever is available commercially in the Northeast,” Dilip K. Sarma, a professor in the department of microbiology at Assam Agricultural University, said today during a two-day workshop on Classical Swine Fever in North East India: Technical, Policy and Institutional Issues and Remedial Mechanisms.
The strategies for control and prevention of the disease include a modern pig slaughterhouse with ante-mortem examination facilities in each of the pig producing states, blanket ban on the sale of diseased pigs for consumption, ban on sale of pigs on the road side for human consumption. Improving the disease reporting system, regular surveillance and monitoring of the disease are also required.
