About CSF (porcine fever) (for pig breeders, etc.)

CSF (porcine fever) is a febrile infectious disease of pigs and boars caused by the CSF (porcine fever) virus, and is characterized by strong infectiousness and high mortality. Infected pigs excrete the virus in saliva, tears, and manure, and the infection spreads by contact with infected pigs and contaminants.
There is no cure, and if it occurs, it has a significant impact on the livestock industry, so it is designated as a specific livestock infectious disease under the Livestock Infectious Disease Prevention Law.
In addition, CSF (porcine fever) does not infect humans, and the meat of infected pigs does not appear on the market. Even if you eat infected pork meat, it does not affect the human body.
In addition, eating pork meat that has been vaccinated with CSF (porcine fever) vaccine has no effect on human health.

On July 8, 2021, a disease of CSF (porcine fever) was confirmed at a pig farm in Sagamihara City.
In order to prevent infection with CSF (porcine fever), please take more thorough measures to prevent epidemics.
