Swine cholera vaccination Requested by the country to carry out as a single body October 3, Gunma Prefecture, 19:00

Gunma Prefecture, the fourth-largest pig farmer in Japan, wants to vaccinate pigs all over the country in order to prevent the spread of swine cholera. So, we asked the country to do it as a unit including not only Gunma Prefecture but also the surrounding prefectures.

This was revealed by Governor Yamamoto of Gunma Prefecture at a press conference on the 3rd.

Swine cholera was also confirmed in Saitama Prefecture for the first time in the Kanto region last month, and Gunma Prefecture has asked the country to vaccinate all pigs nationwide, including pigs in the prefecture.

On the other hand, it may be difficult to respond due to the lack of vaccines. In that case, we requested the government to inoculate other prefectures in the Kanto area so that reputation damage would not be concentrated in the prefecture where the vaccine was administered. about it.

At the interview, Governor Yamamoto said, “If you vaccinate pigs in Gunma Prefecture, the price will go down, and we want the country to take good measures against damage from rumors. Cooperation with nearby prefectures is also important.”
