4,000+ #pigs dead due to #AfricanSwineFever in #Sumatra, #Indonesia

African Swine Fever Alert

Indonesia’s agriculture ministry official says the country has confirmed the first outbreak of African swine fever after laboratory tests on thousands of dead pigs in the northern province of Sumatra this week.

More than 4,000 pigs have died after a cholera outbreak in North Sumatra, a provincial official said Thursday. In North Sumatra, cholera cases were reported for the first time in Dauri County in September.

“Clinical trials and laboratory test results have shown that pigs only died from African swine fever, but there are also positive samples of cholera in pigs,” said Faga, head of animal health at the Ministry of Agriculture. “
