Presiding agency and research team
Research results show that, in 2019, African swine fever occurred in 45.57% of pig production facilities in the whole Can Tho city; Symptoms and lesions of African swine fever occurred in Can Tho city with high mortality >80%, pigs with high fever, red skin, bleeding skin, mucous membranes, natural holes. Visceral congestion and severe bleeding, the abdominal cavity contains a lot of fluid; Factors that increase the risk of ASF in pigs in Can Tho city: Breeding facilities were close to each other < 100m, near animal markets (<3km), near residential areas (<100m), near main roads (<200m), do not disinfect barns, had flies, mosquitoes, rats, birds on farms, rearing facilities near animal slaughterhouses; Anti-ASFV antibodies in pigs at facilities where ASF had not yet occurred (33.77%) and pigs at facilities where outbreaks have occurred (48.67%); There is the presence of ASFV in mosquitoes, flies and rats in establishments where epidemics have been occurring. Not detected in establishments where the epidemic has not yet occurred; The bacteria co-infected or superinfected when swine ASF is Streptococcus spp accounted for the highest percentage (70%). Other bacteria Salmonella spp (16.67%) Pasteurella multocida (10 %) Haemophilus parasuis (6.67%), PRRS (3.33%); Using probiotics includes: Injection of Interferon 104-5UI/kgP, 3 times a week for the first week, then once a week, a combination of Oligo-β-glucan 1g/Kg feed and Probiotic 2g/Kg feed. It is effective in increasing the natural immune system, reducing the invasion or multiplication of ASFV in the pig's body.
