Intervention at a Ministry-dependent propagation farm
From August 1 to 7, Gilbert Perez and Bernard Bernicot had numerous contacts with various players in the Ivorian pork industry. On the other hand, farm visits were very limited in view of the African swine fever epidemic that has been present in the country since the spring, resulting in the loss of almost 100,000 pigs, according to the authorities.
The top priorities identified at the various meetings were the urgent need to set up a comprehensive training program for the various players in the industry, as well as the need for a global census of workshops, accompanied by compulsory identification of animals during commercial transactions.
