The Spring Festival is coming, and it is the peak season of pork consumption, although consumers do not pay much attention to pork safety, but in recent years, African swine fever has been more or less heard of this pig disease, but do not know what the situation of this pig disease is, today to popularize the relevant knowledge of African swine fever.
African swine fever has a history of more than 100 years, and after it was introduced to China in 2018, it brought a huge disaster to the entire pig industry, and the high pig prices during the period of 2019-2021 were due to the African swine fever problem, which led to a decrease in the pig herd.
At present, pig farms infected with African swine fever are basically the only way to clear the farm, of course, some large-scale pig farms have successful cases of accurate removal, but the number is limited.
Once infected with African swine fever, the fatality rate of pigs is close to 100%, and pigs at any stage are at risk of infection.
According to some large-scale pig farms and related testing institutions, after sampling and testing pork in the market and supermarkets, it was found that most of the pork in supermarket meat stalls tested positive for African swine fever.
Such a high positivity rate shows that there is a high probability that the pork we usually eat is also infected with African swine fever, but why don't the relevant departments pay attention to it? Actually, the reason is very simpleEating pork infected with African swine fever is not harmful to humans.
1. Scientific research: At present, there is no evidence that eating pork infected with African swine fever is harmful to the human body;
2. Real cases: There are no reports that some people have adverse consequences due to eating meat infected with African swine fever.
3. Eating habits: China's eating habits of pork are all fried and fried, and they are all cooked food, so even if pork contains various viruses, it will not survive after high temperatures.
Although eating pork infected with ASF is harmless to humans, a considerable part of the pork on the market is not sold to the body weight, which will make the taste poor, so try to choose pork that is not infected with ASF. Secondly, pork needs to be cooked when eating.
The above is the introduction of African swine fever and its impact on the human body, if it helps you, give it a thumbs up.
