Lagos authorities have ramped up protective protocols for swine producers amid surging international cases of African Swine Fever and E. coli outbreaks threatening livestock populations worldwide. Agriculture Commissioner Abisola Olusanya said the government distributes fumigation equipment, replacement breeding stock and grain supplies to thousands of farmers while enforcing strict movement controls between facilities to prevent pathogen transmission.
The state provided 1,200 pigs to 400 producers after previous disease episodes and delivered 16 truckloads of feed to more than 3,000 operations facing elevated input costs. Officials mandate farm documentation for animal traceability and promote insurance coverage to shield producers from financial losses.
Global specialists gathered at Food and Agriculture Organization facilities in Rome to coordinate research efforts against the virus, which persists across 50 nations spanning four continents. Cabo Verde confirmed a fresh outbreak after detecting infections that began months earlier, underscoring persistent risks to pork production systems and rural food security.
