He asserted that the association has also been actively working to contain and prevent outbreaks like African Swine Fever (ASF) by disinfecting farms and distributing protective supplies like lime & bleaching powder.
"Over the years, awareness & training programmes have also been conducted to educate farmers on disease management and the proper disposal of carcasses to prevent further spread", he added.
