Résumé These Guidelines establish the requirements for Swine Depopulation after African Swine Fever (ASF) Confirmation. In particular, they specify the rapid and deliberate killing of infected, potentially infected, or contact animals in an attempt to "stamp out" disease and prevent it from spreading to a healthy population. Section 2 specifies the factors that favour Selective Depopulation, as follows: 1. Early reporting of the disease; 2. Isolated cases and incursions; 3. Effective biosecurity practices in the farm and neighboring piggeries; 4. The affected animals are recently introduced in the area and maintained in one location with minimal contact with other indigenous pig population; 5. Availability of resources to implement immediate culling; 6. Availability of manpower and resources for strict implementation of animal movement restrictions according to the National Zoning and Movement Plan. Section 3. Factors that Warrant Non-selective Depopulation; Section 4. Progression of Depopulation for Identified Swine Categories; Section 5. Depopulation in Backyard Farms; Section 6. Active Surveillance in the Quarantine Zone; Section 7. Testing and Clearance of Swine Farms within the Quarantine Area; Section 8. Restrictions on Movement of Animals from the Quarantine Area Cleared for Slaughter; and Section 9. Settlement of Disputes. Texte intégral Anglais Site web www.da.gov.ph
