Agriculture Minister Chen Jun-ji says inspections of nearly 80 percent of hog farms in Taiwan yielded no new cases of African swine fever.
This comes after after a recent ASF infection was reported in Taichung. Nevertheless, Chen said the situation remains tense.
The minister added that nationwide testing of hog farms is expected to be completed by tomorrow.
The government has imposed a 15-day ban on slaughtering, transporting and feeding pigs with kitchen waste ... to prevent the potential spread of the disease.
