We have also discussed with the department officials, veterinary doctors, and pigs farmers of the state over the issue,\u201d Atul Bora said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Assam Minister also said that, Bhopal based National Institute of High-Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD) has confirmed after testing samples that, the pigs died due to the African Swine Fever (ASF).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atul Bora further said that the disease originated from China has killed around 2500 pigs across 306 villages in the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn February the disease was detected last.

We have discussed with the experts that how to save the pigs without culling. Samples will be collected within one km radius of the infected areas and will be sent for testing. We are now avoiding immediate culling. After testing, we will cull only those pigs which will be found infected,\u201d Atul Bora said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also said that, Assam has now three laboratories for testing, but it is not sufficient and the department officials have asked to contact with state Health department also.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assam has already<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/nerising.in\/assam-government-bans-on-sale-of-pork-meat\/\"> banned the sale<\/a><\/span>, consumption, and distribution of pork meat in the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from Assam, other neighboring states Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur have also issued advisory orders in the states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 2500 pigs died in Assam due to China origin African Swine Fever, Centre advises to go for culling: Guwahati, May 4: Panic gripped among the people after nearly 2500 domestic pigs have been died in Assam due to the African Swine Fever (ASF).
