African swine fever (ASF) has been confirmed in Spunakha and Wangdu Zongkags, and pig and pork products, pig slaughter, pork transportation and sales are banned.
Bhutan reported its first case of African swine fever in 2020 on February 9 this year in Sbangyul village of Padma Gatshal Dzongkhag, which was detected in Phuntsholing.
From 2020, Chukha, Samtse, Padma Dga’tshal, Trashigang, Paro, Gsarpang, Darkar and Samdrup Jongkhar will be extended to Khar, Spunakha and Wangdue Dzongkhags.
A total of 2,740 pigs were infected with African swine fever between 2020 and 2024, including 273 pigs in Punakha and 152 pigs in Wangdue last month.
The latest outbreak occurred at a pig farm in Zabakha, Darkarnang Gewog, on June 28. He was arrested on June 29, 2013, from Tshethar’s home in Karbyis Sirigang, Spunakha.
On June 27, three days after a sow was infected at the Zabaha pig farm, nine piglets died from gunshot wounds.
The owner of the pig reported the case to the nearest livestock extension office and an inspection was carried out in June. The sample was sent to the National Veterinary Health Testing Center in Thimphu and the laboratory reported that the virus was spread due to African swine fever.
Wangdu Dzongkha and intermediary agencies are concerned about the African swine fever epidemic in the country and will strictly follow the provisions of the prevention and control plan to prevent the spread of the epidemic. 53 merchants and medium-sized enterprises in Wangdu have been infected. More than 1,000 cases of the virus have been reported.
After the ASF virus was reported on June 28, Dr. Rinchen Tshe, a veterinary official in Dzongkhag, said on June 29 that the victim was identified after CR testing and “this is a dangerous problem.” The situation in Magalsa and Spunakha was dangerous, with 123 pigs along the road, including five that were at risk of spreading the virus.
On July 1, Thukshe Tsering, governor of Punakha Dzongkhag, said that the Dzongkhag government has been working hard to prevent the spread of the disease and will bring live pigs to the Dzongkhag as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the disease and take-out, which is also prohibited.
Pig farmers have been told to take care of their farms, not to let pigs eat garbage and to report any deaths to the nearest veterinary centre.
Dr. Sangye Rinchen, project director of the National Center for Veterinary Health, said: The committee held a meeting on July 1 to discuss the epidemic and the Disaster Management Center has begun its work.
