After the African swine fever disease in the district started to die and sick, the transportation has been banned. Here, 18 bangur have died and some of them have fallen ill.
An infection of this disease was seen in the district a month ago. Since then, 14 in Bhimad, two in Shuklagandaki municipality, one in Vyas and one in Rishing have died, said Rajesh Chaudhary, head of Veterinary Hospital and Animal Services Expert Center. He said that outsiders should not be allowed to enter the farm, caution should be taken and the transportation of boars and pigs has been banned.
He said, 'Veterinarians and technical teams of the center are currently conducting research by reaching Bangur Farm in the district. Out of the farms where the piglets died, five from Rishing, five from Byas and two from the farm where the piglet did not die, 12 piglet samples have been sent to the Animal Disease Research Laboratory in Pokhara for testing.'
Out of the 10 municipalities here, three municipalities namely Bhimad, Shuklagandaki and Beas have been infected with 'African Swine Fever'. Bhimad Municipality is the most affected by this disease. According to Animal Services Expert Center, 13,500 farmers raised 40,000 bangur in the district.
Veterinarians have advised to be cautious as this disease is transmitted by insect bites, contaminated feed water, infected dishes and clothes, and infected needles. As there is no cure for this epidemic disease, farmers have been urged to adopt high biological security.
