African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious and contagious viral disease of domestic and wild pigs of all breeds. ASF is usually fatal in infected pigs. ASF is subject to the statutory notification and control obligations internationally. The substantial losses related to an ASF outbreak in countries exporting pigs or pork are linked to import bans imposed from countries free from the disease. ASF does NOT affect public health or food safety, i.e. pork meat is safe to eat. With ASF now spreading in China, APL urges ALL producers to take extra precaution with their herd’s biosecurity. We recommend that all producers review their farm biosecurity plan and complete the Piggery Biosecurity Audit Checklist in the National Farm Biosecurity Manual for Pork Production publication at https://bit.ly/2JJPSXa. Ronnie Wang from Chinese female workers community reminds the Chinese-Australian, don't pack pork products in your luggage to Australia.
