Taiwan: Taiwan Launches Pilot Program To End CSF Vaccinations for Pigs

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Taiwan announced a pilot program to begin the process for eliminating the use of vaccinations against classical swine fever (CSF). If successful, the program will eliminate the need for CSF vaccinations on Taiwan within approximately two years. Taiwan hopes to eradicate CSF without the need for vaccinations in order to return to the pork export market, from which it has been mostly blocked since 1997.
