After it was confirmed that pigs raised in a pig farm in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, were infected with the infectious disease CSF of pigs and classical swine fever, Gunma Prefecture raised them in this pig farm on the 27th. We are in the process of disposing of approximately 5,390 pigs.

At a pig farm in Takasaki City, it was confirmed on the 26th that three dead pigs were infected with CSF and classical swine fever.

In response, Gunma Prefecture began culling all 5,390 pigs raised on this farm at 8 am on the 27th.

At the gymnasium in Misato-machi, Takasaki City, the staff of the prefecture who worked on the work gathered, changed into protective clothing, and left for the pig farm by bus.

The prefecture hopes to complete the culling by the 29th and complete epidemic prevention measures such as disinfection of pig farms.

On the other hand, there are 18 pig farms within a 10km radius of this pig farm, but since they have already been vaccinated, there are no restrictions on shipping.

In the prefecture, 55 wild boars have been confirmed to be infected with CSF since September last year, and a wild boar infected with CSF was found at a place about 5 km away from this pig farm later this month. The route is unknown, and the prefecture is planning to investigate in detail in cooperation with the national government.
