The latest updates and new solutions to combat African swine fever (ASF) will be discussed during VIV Asia 2019, an international trade show from feed-to-food for Asia, which will be held from March 13-15 at BITEC in Bangkok.

Boehringer Ingelheim, an exhibitor, will launch a new application called COMBAT ASF on March 13 at VIV Asia.

The Thai Swine Raisers Association will give an update about the Africa swine fever situation in Thailand at the “ASF Seminar: The Disruption of the ASEAN Pig Industry” on the same day.

The exhibition will also have seminars and conferences related to the ASF situation, including ‘War against Classical Swine Fever: a Successful Experience” organised by the Malaysian Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals Association, and “African Swine Fever: Everything You Must Know” from SKOV A/S, and more.

According to the organiser, Asian pork producers need to redouble their efforts to combat African swine fever after its spread to northern Việt Nam. This is an important issue that has motivated pork producers and associations to find a way to control the outbreak.

Visitors can register for the show at www.vivasia.nl to receive the latest livestock news from 1,250 leading companies, and attend seminars, at VIV Asia 2019. — VNS
