In response to the spread of swine contagious diseases and swine cholera infection, the government has summarized measures that include strengthening the capture of wild boars that are thought to be the cause of the spread of infection.

Since the outbreak of swine cholera was confirmed in Gifu Prefecture in September of last year one year ago, and the prospects for its end have not been established, the government has compiled a new measure.

According to it, as a measure against wild boar that seems to be the cause of the spread of infection, in addition to strengthening capture, such as relaxing the installation restrictions of traps in Gifu Prefecture and surrounding prefectures, full-scale spraying of vaccine mixed with food I am going to make it.

In order to block the infection route, it is also included to require pig farms nationwide to take measures to prevent the invasion of wild animals such as the installation of fences.

In addition, in order to suppress the occurrence of swine cholera, we will examine the vaccination of pigs raised in pig farms in a form that limits the region, taking into account the impact on pork exports.
