Core Viewpoint - The control of African Swine Fever (ASF) is crucial for the survival and development of the pig farming industry, as it poses the primary threat to the industry's health and stability [2][4]. Group 1: ASF Control Strategies - Experts at the 52nd Pig Industry Conference emphasized the need to return to the essence of disease control, focusing on the isolation and management of infection sources as a key entry point for ASF prevention [16][22]. - The unique transmission methods of ASF, including both horizontal and vertical transmission, complicate control efforts, making it essential to address the core issues rather than applying poultry disease control methods to pig diseases [6][12]. - Effective control measures should include thorough disinfection of breeding sources, feed, and surrounding environments to manage infection sources [19][20]. Group 2: Environmental and Monitoring Importance - The significance of monitoring the breeding environment and conducting regular health checks was highlighted, as overcrowding can lead to disease outbreaks [25][26]. - Establishing a monitoring system for smaller farms and ensuring that problem pigs do not enter the farms are critical to preventing disease cycles and economic losses [26][27]. Group 3: Regional Collaboration - Experts suggested that regional collaborative prevention efforts, including information-sharing mechanisms among farms, can enhance ASF control and mitigate the spread of the disease [30][31]. Group 4: Innovation in Farming Models - The need for innovative farming models was identified as a key measure for improving prevention effectiveness and achieving industry transformation, especially in the context of ASF's ongoing prevalence [33][34]. - Traditional farming models are becoming less viable, and a shift towards centralized breeding and separation of breeding and fattening stages is necessary for maintaining competitiveness [37][40]. - The integration of innovative farming practices with core disease control principles is essential for better management of infection sources and transmission pathways [42][44]. Group 5: Future Industry Competition - The future competition in the pig farming industry will fundamentally revolve around the capabilities in disease control and the advantages of farming models, necessitating adaptation to industry trends for sustainable development [46].
