WEBINAR: African swine fever (ASF) management for smallholders
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 14/11/2022

We would like to invite you to a one-hour webinar to introduce the practical guidelines for ASF prevention and control in smallholder settings: (i) Monitoring and surveillance of ASF; (ii) Culling and disposal of pigs in an ASF outbreak; (iii) Farm biosecurity, slaughtering and restocking; and (IV) Clean chain approach for ASF in smallholder settings.

ASF is a highly fatal infectious disease in domestic and wild pigs of all breeds and ages. Although the virus does not infect humans, it has significant implications for food security and farmer livelihoods. At least 60 percent of the global pig production is concentrated in East and Southeast Asia, with the majority of pigs kept in low biosecurity smallholder farms with minimal resilience to disease incursion.
This webinar will provide participants with an overview of how FAO can support smallholders to prepare and control ASF in a practical way in the context of Asia. The webinar is organized with financial support from the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
