The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs immediately dispatched an expert team to guide the affected regions to properly carry out post-disaster animal prevention work such as harmless treatment of pigs that died as a result of the disaster and the elimination of breeding environments. Up to now, the harmless treatment of pigs that died as a result of the disaster has basically been completed. No major animal outbreaks have been reported in these areas, and this disaster has had no obvious impact on pig production across the country.
