Hong Kong: Business as Usual After ASF Cases Identified in Slaughterhouse

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Hong Kong confirmed three cases of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse on September 3. Unlike the previous cases in May, this time there is no culling of pigs in the infected area. The government explained culling is not necessary due to the implementation of a recent measure that prohibits live pigs from remaining in the slaughterhouse more than 24 hours, making thorough cleansing and disinfection possible on a daily basis.
