BEIJING - China will allow large-scale pig farms and breeding farms to test for African swine fever in a bid to help early detection of the disease, overturning an earlier prohibition on commercial firms carrying out their own testing.
The move comes as China struggles to control the epidemic, which some analysts predict could see up to 200 million pigs die or be culled this year, causing a huge shortage of pork in the world’s top producer. Outbreaks of the disease, which is not harmful to humans, has already been reported in almost every region of mainland China.
Authorities should provide funding to the farms for testing and local animal husbandry departments should help with technical services, it added.
