African Swine Fever
African Swine Fever or ASF, a hemorrhagic fever that causes high mortality in domestic pigs, has been devastating the swine industry since August 2019.
Implications:
Thousands of pigs have been killed as ASF reached outbreak levels in almost all of Luzon, parts of Mindanao and could spread to other areas nationwide if not checked. This translates to billions of losses in revenue for both big businesses and small farmers whose livestock represent their life investments.
Solution:
Acemmune, a hog supplement that’s proven not only to enhance pigs’ immune systems but also to improve overall performance of the animals. While there is currently no vaccine against the ASF virus, Acemmune, together with the enhanced Bio-Security measures, forced culling, disinfecting, and resting farms are the best approach to control and eliminate ASF.
