Protect Pigs This Lunar New Year

As we look forward to the coming festive season, help to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF).

Although ASF doesn’t affect humans, it poses a serious threat to pigs and the livelihoods of farmers worldwide.

Travelers can unknowingly carry the virus across borders. A few simple precautions can make a big difference in keeping pigs and farming communities safe.

Check out our pamphlet for practical tips on preventing the spread of ASF. Do not unintentionally become a disseminator of ASF.

Together, we can safeguard pigs, support farmers, and preserve traditions this Lunar New Year.
