In response to a confirmed outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the Tinsukia region of Assam, the Longding district administration in Arunachal Pradesh has enacted an immediate ban on the transit, purchase, and import of live pigs and pork products. This ban, effective for one month, is aimed at preventing the virus from entering the district. Dr. O Moyong, the district's animal husbandry and veterinary officer, emphasized the importance of compliance with the advisory, warning that violations could result in penalties under the Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009. The advisory prohibits the purchase of pigs and pork from affected areas and advises against swill feeding, a common practice linked to ASF transmission. Farmers are instructed to implement strict biosecurity measures, including daily disinfection of pig housing and monitoring for ASF symptoms. Additionally, proper disposal methods for carcasses are mandated to avoid environmental contamination. The district veterinary department encourages immediate reporting of suspected cases to mitigate the spread of the disease.
