Since Aug. 2018, African Swine Fever has occurred in many places of China. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, till Jan. 25, 2019, there are 104 outbreaks occurred in China, 4 of them occurred in slaughter houses and 2 of them occurred on wild boar or second-generation wild boar, distributed in 25 provinces, 75 cities and 85 districts. From the distribution, we can see the epidemic of ASF general presented a spot-like sporadic situation, and there was a concentrated situation in some areas, which brought serious damage to our pig industry.
As a infectious epidemic virus disease, there are 3 spreading routes of ASF: source of infection, route of transmission, susceptible animals. These factors are where an effective strategy of prevention and control could be started from. Mytech, as an upstream enterprise who is specialized in the production of functional protein raw material, on the one hand, cut off the transmission route of ASF and guarantees that our products are safe and free of virus; on the other hand, products produced have the function of antioxidant and immune regulation which can enhance the resistance of pigs to disease and reduce the risk of infection.
----------------------------------------------【ASF Knowledge】---------------------------------
African Swine Fever (ASF) is an acute, heat, and highly contacting infectious disease caused by infection of African Swine Fever virus (ASFv). Pigs of all ages are susceptible to virus and with high morbidity and 100% mortality.
■ Morphological structure: ASF virions are icosahedral symmetry with a diameter of about 200 nm. From the inside to the outside, it consists of five parts: the viral genome, the inner core shell, the inner membrane, the capsid and the capsule.
■ Biological characteristics: ASFv is with low temperature resistance and it can survive for a few weeks at 25-37°C, for 70 minutes at 56°C, and for 20 minutes at 60 ° C. It is sensitive to ether and chloroform. While soaked in solution of 2% sodium hydroxide, 2%-3% sodium hypochlorite, 0.3% formalin, 3% o-phenylphenol or iodine compound for 30 min, it can be inactivated. The ASFv can survive for 1 month in contaminants of infected pig, for nearly 4 months in septic blood or cold meat, for 18 months in frozen blood of pig, for several years to decades in frozen pork or meat products and for a long time in undercooked meat, bacon and swill.
■ Source of transmission: ASFV is often hosted in domestic pigs, wild boars and soft sputum, which can trigger multiple routes of spreading. Contacting with infected pigs and their excrement, contaminated shoes, clothes and utensils, transport vehicles and feed etc. in the farm, it can lead virus spread quickly in domestic pigs and wild boars.
■ Spreading circulation: ASFV spreads by 4 modes: jungle transmission circulation, tick-pig circulation, domestic pig circulation and wild boar-habit circulation.
----------------------------------------【Actions of Myetch】-------------------------------------
Strict control and disinfection of personnel and vehicles
-------------------------------【Biosecurity guarantee of Mytech】---------------------------
Through well-established production management system of biological security and strict quality management system, the whole process starting from raw materials, production processes to finished products can ensure the safety and stability without carrying ASF virus and transmission routes of ASF been cut off.
1. Raw Material
Using pure plant protein as raw material to ensure the safety and stability of the source of products
2. Production Process
(1) Production strictly follows the requirements and procedures of ISO9001 and GMP+B2 to ensure the safety, stability and traceability of products.
(2) ASF virus be inactivated in the process of produciton
(3) The finished products tested by third party with negative result
3. Products (Fortide) enhance animal's resistance to disease
Mytech products are rich in biological active factors which can enhance the antioxidative capacity and immune regulation of animal. It can enhance the non-specific immunity of animal, reduce the susceptibility to ASF virus and reduce the possibility of infection.
(1)The proof of antioxidative capacity and immune regulation of Fortide through the assay of standard animal model of SD rat (Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
(2) The proof that Fortide can improve the antioxidative capacity and immune regulation of pigs under actual production (published in Feed Research)
