The detection of African swine fever is important for scientific prevention and control, so it should be taken seriously and not always patched up after the sheep are lost. What is the reality of testing being so important for the prevention and control of African swine fever?
1、 Major hidden dangers
If the profit at a certain point in the industry is too high, it will attract people to flock to it! In order to make money, there is no qualification to block business at a lower price. As for the accuracy of testing and sample disposal, there is no one to supervise, and we can only rely on self-awareness! And self-awareness is unreliable, mainly for businessmen who are willing to risk their lives for profit.
Fluorescent PCR detection equipment is currently selling very well! Although there are few legal testing institutions, there are many pig farms! A large number of testing equipment are bought by pig farms for self inspection, because there are few testing channels and high prices, and pig farms have no choice but to do so. A standardized laboratory can be built in a large-scale field, and testing personnel can be hired to operate it. However, due to limited funds, small and medium-sized enterprises are unable to purchase testing equipment independently, let alone build standard laboratories and hire relevant personnel to operate.
2、 Lack of channels
Although many institutions with African swine fever testing qualifications have been announced, as long as they are legally designated testing institutions with the words "prevention and control", they are only public and not private, and their main responsibility is epidemic investigation.
The remaining statutory institutions, although accepting pig farm inspections, have small quantities and uneven distribution, which adds a lot of difficulty to the timeliness of sample inspections! For example, Henan Province is a major province in China for pig farming, but so far there is no legally authorized testing institution with African swine fever testing qualifications!
The direct reaction of having few channels is that the testing is difficult, and it is not known where to send it. Even if there is private testing, it is difficult to ensure accuracy!
