Let's talk about African Swine Fever (ASF). ASF is highly contagious, has no vaccine or treatment, and can last for a long time in the environment, pig carcasses, and pig products. ASF is not a food risk in Canada as it has not yet been detected here, but it is spreading globally. That's why it's important that we do our part to prevent its spread to our country. Find the DOs and DON'Ts for protecting your pigs from ASF on the attached fact sheet. #Farming #Farm #Pigs #PigFarming #SwineFarm #SwineHealth

Be aware of aflatoxins (AFL) A silent threat looms over our feed supplies: aflatoxins. Among the grains susceptible to contamination, corn (maize) tops the list. Factors like drought stress, insect damage, and improper storage create a breeding ground for these toxic invaders, putting our animals' health and well-being at risk. What precisely are the perils of aflatoxin exposure? 🤔 Prepare for their detrimental impact, including compromised immune systems and the grave risks of immunotoxicity, hepatocarcinogenicity, and teratogenicity, endangering the health of our cherished livestock in the long term. go.nutrex.eu/p6o #animalnutrition #nutrexfeedadditives #aflatoxins #mycotoxins #animalhealth

📢 Latest News on African Swine Fever 🐷🦠 🌍 African Swine Fever Ravages Vietnam: This month, 44 provinces in Vietnam are affected, causing pork prices to increase by 20%, impacting the local economy. 🌍 Research led by Dr. Sandra Blome in Germany shows that the African Swine Fever virus spreads through animal feed only under specific conditions. 🌍 Virus samples were still found in refrigerated feed such as radishes and potatoes, likely due to the stability of the African Swine Fever virus in #cold and #humid environments. ✨ Despite global struggles with African Swine Fever, Taiwan's excellent management and preventive measures are expected to lead the country to become a : 1. Foot-and-Mouth Disease-free zone, 2. Classical Swine Fever-free zone, 3. African Swine Fever-free zone by 2025.✨ #TaiwanPride #AfricanSwineFever #FoodSafety #DiseasePrevention #ScientificResearch #AgriculturalTechnology #ASF

Covid/Flu/Avian flu testing available and in demand. Unfortunately, it is going un-detected ( not tested) and the spread is happening. Why its important to test for Bird flu: bird flu can cause symptoms similar to severe human flu (fever, cough, tiredness, muscle aches, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, headache). Also, Pneumonia & encephalitis have resulted. Testing for bird flu is becoming more and more necessary as the numbers grow. https://lnkd.in/eNTk2xA7 #farming, #birdflu, #covidflu, #ruralhealth, #covidtesting, #agriculture, #farmlife, #poulty, #humantransmission,

#EcoSaludGlobal https://lnkd.in/dSKxKSdB APHIS works closely with commercial operators, States, and backyard and hobby growers to prevent avian influenza and other diseases from becoming established in the U.S. poultry population. Protecting the health and safety of our Nation’s poultry must be a top priority for flock owners of all sizes. The U.S. poultry industry is one of the largest in the world and an important sector of our agricultural economy. If U.S. poultry are exposed to highly contagious diseases like highly pathogenic avian influenza and virulent Newcastle disease, the impact on our economy could be severe and international trade can be impacted. These deadly diseases quickly kill large percentages of any flock they infect. Practicing good biosecurity is one of the best ways to protect our flocks from the risk of infection and the spread of disease. Here’s what you can do now: Review the basics of biosecurity and follow the best practices. Make sure you know the signs of illness. Check the Defend the Flock Resource Center for information about how you can prepare for and prevent disease outbreaks.
