Aizawl, May 14: At least 635 pigs were culled in Mizoram after the spread of contagious African Swine Fever (ASF).

Since April, an ASF outbreak has been reported from three districts, Aizawl, Champhai, and Saitual with 308 pigs killed and 195 pigs amassed since last month in Aizawl alone.

Officials said that under the Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Disease in Animals Act, 2009, the department has declared various villages and localities in these three districts as infected areas following the outbreak of ASF.

At least 47,269 pigs and piglets have died between 2021 and 2023 in Mizoram due to ASF outbreak, while at least 25,182 pigs have been culled during this period.

The ASF first hit Mizoram in 2021 and since then, reports of the outbreak of the disease have been reported almost every year during summers.
