What is ASF?
African swine fever is a highly fatal viral disease of domestic pigs,warthogs and wild boar that manifests as a haemorrhagic fever and can kill upto 100% of the affected pigs.The disease is caused by Asfivirus which is a double stranded DNA virus of family Asfarviridae .The virus is harboured by a soft tick,Ornithodoros, that attaches to the underpart body of pigs, thus making it readily visible.
Although the virus does not cause disease in humans,the impact it has on the economy,especially through trade and farming is substantial. In India it was first confirmed in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in February-March 2020 .A total of 11 ASF outbreaks in different regions killed over 3700 pigs and devastated the economy of small-scale livestock owners of both the states. Currently, there is no effective vaccine available against ASF,so prevention by adopting strict biosecurity measures is the only way to prevent ASF.
ASF is spread by contact with infected animals’ body fluids. It can be spread by ticks that feed on infected animals. People are also a source of spread; as they can move the virus on vehicles or clothing. It can also be spread by feeding pigs uncooked garbage that contains infected pork products.
The signs of ASF include: high fever; decreased appetite; weakness; red, blotchy skin or skin lesions; diarrhoea, vomiting, coughing and difficulty breathing.
Preventive measures to control ASF :
– Complete ban on movement of live/dead pigs and meat products in and out of the infected area.
– Keep the newly purchased pigs in quarantine for 30-45 days.
– Prohibition of exchange of pigs for breeding.
– Do not sell sick pigs to traders/butchers.
– Humane slaughter of all pigs within a radius of 1km in case of ASF outbreak.
– During outbreak, leave the farm empty for 40 days after slaughtering of pigs and disinfecting the farm.
ASF has a devastating economic impact on pig farming industry due to high mortality rates and trade restrictions. Managing the disease involve strict biosecurity measures, diligent surveillance, controlled movement, humane culling and advanced research.
By implementing these strategies, the global swine industry can better protect against ASF, reduce its impact, and work towards long-term solutions for this challenging disease.

Sistemas de ajuste: fundamental para el rendimiento uniforme y efectivo de las maquinas.
En el entorno de la avances contemporanea, donde la productividad y la estabilidad del equipo son de maxima importancia, los aparatos de equilibrado juegan un tarea vital. Estos sistemas especificos estan creados para equilibrar y estabilizar partes moviles, ya sea en herramientas industrial, automoviles de movilidad o incluso en dispositivos hogarenos.
Para los tecnicos en soporte de dispositivos y los especialistas, trabajar con sistemas de ajuste es esencial para asegurar el rendimiento fluido y estable de cualquier aparato movil. Gracias a estas opciones avanzadas avanzadas, es posible limitar significativamente las oscilaciones, el ruido y la carga sobre los cojinetes, prolongando la duracion de partes importantes.
Tambien significativo es el tarea que juegan los dispositivos de balanceo en la servicio al consumidor. El asistencia tecnico y el soporte regular empleando estos equipos permiten dar soluciones de gran excelencia, incrementando la contento de los clientes.
Para los duenos de proyectos, la aporte en unidades de calibracion y detectores puede ser fundamental para optimizar la productividad y rendimiento de sus dispositivos. Esto es especialmente importante para los duenos de negocios que dirigen reducidas y modestas emprendimientos, donde cada punto cuenta.
Ademas, los dispositivos de calibracion tienen una extensa implementacion en el ambito de la proteccion y el control de calidad. Facilitan localizar eventuales errores, previniendo arreglos elevadas y danos a los sistemas. Incluso, los resultados recopilados de estos equipos pueden utilizarse para maximizar metodos y mejorar la exposicion en sistemas de exploracion.
Las campos de aplicacion de los aparatos de ajuste incluyen diversas areas, desde la elaboracion de ciclos hasta el control de la naturaleza. No afecta si se refiere de enormes producciones productivas o limitados locales hogarenos, los dispositivos de ajuste son indispensables para promover un desempeno optimo y sin paradas.
