Pig Farmers In Tepa Municipality Affected By African Swine Fever by Markito(m) : 8:39 am

A total of 575 pigs are reported to have been affected by the African Swine Fever in the Tepa Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

Samples of the disease were sent to the Disease Investigation Laboratory on February 11 2022 and the report confirmed the outbreak of the disease.

"So far, pigs numbering 575 have been confirmed dead. This is a very big blow to farmers here. They have made a lot of investments in their farms", said Daniel Johnson Amenyo, Veterinary Officer at the Ahafo Ano South Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

"Farmers are advised to obey bio-security measures. It can easily prevent the spread of the disease. African Swine Fever has no cure. It is highly contagious", Mr. Amenyo advised.

It's sad. To have one's investments wiped out just like that in one go is not easy. Piggery is very profitable, and at the same time a very risky enterprise to undertake.
