PRC officials urge vigilance after pig disease outbreak

AGENCIES, BEIJING
Friday, May 11, 2007, Page 5
China's agriculture ministry said yesterday it had called on local governments to report all new cases of a disease that some industry officials estimate has wiped out as many as a million pigs in China in the last year.[snip]

The ministry has not said how many pigs have died from the disease since the first outbreak was reported a year ago in Jiangxi Province. But industry officials say the disease is now prevalent across the country, with estimates of pig deaths ranging from half a million to 1 million.
[snip]

The ministry has successfully worked out a new type of vaccine against the disease and would speed up production to apply to pigs in some key suffering areas, it said. It did not elaborate.[snip]

Mortality rates of as high as 50 percent had led farmers to abandon breeding and the reduction of the pig population has caused a heavy blow to the feed industry.

Re: Mystery disease kills pigs in Southern China: press

sorry, "MUST" was mistranslated. In English "should" should be better.
Anyway, I think it's wrong. Evidence, no proof.
Let's look for other statements about the number of dead pig.
20 million would be very worrying, even if it's not flu.
Dan Silver and the Promed people should have become sceptic with that number.

The dead pigs in China are not new. There were similar stories last year. The various stories indicate the numbers are "hundreds", "thousands", "up to a million", and 20 million. These numbers indicate that the numbers in the media reports are "soft".

Of all of the reports, the one with the strongest scientific background is ProMed. Although their commentraies on H5N1 are frequently little more than the commentator's personal views, ProMed tends to be quite conservative. The likelihood that the 20 million cited is a bad translation is remote. It's incorrectness is neither a "must" or a "should".

China is not known for its transparency. In the latest outbreaks in Guangdong, government officials are denying deaths, as media reports show photos of dead pigs floating down the river.

The real issue is the etiology of the diseas. In the past, two viruses and a bacterium have been detected, but the liklihood that all three are secondary infections remains high, since the symptoms and severity of the pig illnesses do not match prior cases involving these three organisms.

Thus, there is little data to support the above organisms, nor is there any data supporting the claim that the report citing 20 million dead pigs is incorrect.

。

Linyi City from the Bureau of Statistics noted that as of May 16, Linyi City pork prices set a record high, meat prices which reached 17.6 yuan / kg, the price of pork reached 15.4 yuan / kg, respectively, over the same month last year 11.1 per / kg, 9 yuan / kg increased by 58% and 71%.

。

Pig prices for 10.4 yuan / kg, with the same month last year six yuan / kg compared with a 73% rise.

According to

industry sources, the price of pork is higher-priced market in the supply of live pigs is obviously caused by inadequate. Caused the main reason for this phenomenon : First, the same period last year, pork prices low to pig farming heavy losses, particularly small farming households were forced to shut down or diverted to the closure, which will further lead to pig herds have been rising slowly; Second, the price of grain led to a significant increase in feed prices increases, the cost of raising pigs increased, pork prices in the long-term rates in the doldrums under the influence, raising profits not achieve the desired level of synchronization, again affected the pig farming industry , exacerbated by the current inadequate supply of live pigs situation.
Judging from the current market situation, as the high price of pork operation, the sales market has dropped dramatically. Pork prices have been rising in a small space, but because of the growing pig restrictions Pig market supply in the short term can not be improved. According to the above analysis, Linyi pork on the market price is difficult to fall shortly. http://66.249.91.104/translate_c?hl=...705/t93827.htm

Re: Mystery disease kills pigs in Southern China: press

The minister did not say how many pigs had died from the disease

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/PEK321363.htm

sounds as if they had asked him and he refused to answer

he should have commented on the 20 million from Guangxi-news.
But it's China ...

Several sources said there were 1 million dead pigs last year,
so there can hardly be 20 million this year in just a few months
without this getting more attention.

Re: Mystery disease kills pigs in Southern China: press

I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical as well. We have only one source (or at least mutiple re-publications of the same source), with regards to the 20MM pigs. Unfortunately the lack of information from China causes these types of situations wheere we are left guessing at the correct answer, of which, we'll never truely know. The best we can hope for is something from Boxun or another similar source, however, they too have been very quiet. I do feel that if 20MM pigs died, Boxun..etc. would have published something.

Re: Mystery disease kills pigs in Southern China: press

pork prices could be interesting. We had it in the thread last
year, but thepigsite has discontinued to publish them.
Average prices for provinces or whole China would be fine.
I saw something like a 50&#37; increase, AFAIR.

I also sent email to Dan Silver. Emails to China : Guangxi-news,
FIC all come back from mailer-daemon.

Re: Mystery disease kills pigs in Southern China: press

Sure, we all know that China is a under an information quarantine MHSC, knows less than we do about what is going on in China, and she is there...she has to get info from here. Which is why we are only left to speculate, that is until something leaks out.

The pork prices post is very interesting.

I too will keep digging, hopefully not in vain, but you can feel the power of the Chinese censorship, when they want a story stopped, they shut off all the valves.

Yesterday 5 PM, arrived the resident to buy the vegetable prepares food, in front of a Guangzhou five sheep new towns meat grocer pork files gate is lonely, the shopkeeper anxiously rises, business desolate extremely helpless facing the meat price: "The meat price rises such anxiously, the resident is very difficult to adapt, I sold the resident not to be able to accept, sold cheaply has lost money, this business did not know how should do?" Core prompt Recently the domestic majority of local pork rise in price, our province partial areas pork market price similarly came under the influence. What is the pork rise in price reason? Next stage price trend how? Whether the our province department concerned can get rid of the intervention? Yesterday, in view of current social from all walks of life matter of concern, newspaper reporter invited the province price bureau and the agriculture department as well as some experts makes the analysis. The price 5 月精 lean meat same ratios rise 14.7&#37;: Average every 500 grams 9.92 Yuan According to the province price bureau concerned people in charge introduced that, the pork rise in price question we also always pay attention and carry on are monitoring. Since the end of last year, our province meat, the egg price have continued to rise, this year 3, in April appears small to return to the accent, but in May continues to rise. The province price bureau demonstrated to the market price monitor result that, in May, the middle ten days, the entire province fresh pork (fine lean meat) every 500 grams average prices respectively are 9.84 Yuan, 10 Yuan, the monthly mean (count middle ten days) every 500 grams 9.92 Yuan, the same ratio rises 14.7%; The fresh pork (rib meat) every 500 grams average prices respectively are 7.96 Yuan, 8.02 Yuan, the monthly mean every 500 grams 7.99 Yuan, with compared to rises 20%, created the recent years live pig price to be highest. The province agriculture department from the cultivation, produces the link the investigation result and the market supplies price tallies. Our province live pig market started from last August to recover, after the experience mid-September the price peak gradually receded, after mid-October the price unceasingly rose, to this January in the last ten days of the month live pig price achieved the recent years high point □□entire province each place lean meat live pig price generally reached as high as 11.6 □12.0 Yuan/kilograms, some local prices 格曾 rose to 12.3 Yuan/kilograms. Raises the keeper of livestock to raise gains 300-400 Yuan/head, makes up the fence enthusiasm to surge upward, stimulates the pig seedling market the prosperity, 15 kilogram heavy lean meat pig seedling price approaches 400 Yuan/heads. At the beginning of this February starts, the pig price falls slightly, but in front of at the end of February still maintained 11.2 Yuan/kilogram about to compare the high price position. At the beginning of March, the pig price falls the scope to be obvious, the last ten days of the month price falls to March in to 10 Yuan/kilograms below, paces back and forth in 9.4-9.8 Yuan/kilograms between, but the peasant household raised the income still to be able to maintain 100-200 Yuan/head. Plants the pig and the pig seedling price also has falls, 50 kilograms body weights dual mixed sows selling price approximately 1,100 Yuan/heads, 15 kilograms body weights pigs Miao Diezhi about 340 Yuan/. Mid-April starts, the pig price starts to rise again, amounts to 10.2-10.8 Yuan/kilograms, 15 kilograms body weights pigs Miao Shengzhi about 370 Yuan/. The supply and demand majority of live pigs supply from the other provinces: The rise in price affects our province The province price bureau concerned person in charge stated that, this year comes the live pig market fluctuation, is creates by the market supply and demand relations change. Our province majority of areas live pig's supply from Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and so on is close to the province, the market supplies price mainly the live pig habitat influence. Because recently the domestic majority of local pork rise in price affected our province. According to the analysis, causes our province pork rise in price mainly to have three big factors. One, raises the pig cost rise. Since last year second half year, because by the grain primarily agricultural and subsidiary products price large rise, the feed price also unceasingly climbs along with it. Two is because our province the last July partial areas appeared (live pig) the high fever to cause the partial sows death, the young pig supply reduced, the sow death also caused the fault, this need certain time restoration. Three was last year domestic majority of raises the pig household to lose money, dampens the partial farmers to raise the pig enthusiasm, many people to raised the pig to hold the attitude of wait and see, the market supplies obviously reduce, impel the live pig purchase price rise. Looked on our province itself pig-breeding industry, before last August approaches the pig which 1 year live pig ebb tide time as well as the partial local for more than half year erupts "the high fever" to our country pig-breeding industry attack to be bigger, many raises the keeper of livestock or because loses seriously continues without the fund to invest, or because fears the epidemic disease risk to reproduce the confidence to change professions insufficient, the sow amount of livestock on hand and the live pig leave the pen comparatively front has the certain degree to drop. Prospect our province pig-breeding industry superiority prominent: The live pig year gap reaches 25 million heads Some experts analyze believed that, our province live pig price can maintain in the certain time is comparing the high level, cannot be lower than 10 Yuan/kilograms. Because the feed host raw material price stays at a high level, at present the cost has amounted to 8.0-9.0 Yuan/kilograms. The professional analyzes pointed out that, at present, our province live pig year gap reaches 25 million heads, in the live pig price height suitable degree is decided outside the province the live pig calls in the quantity and the price. Although our province live pig raising man-power, the feed cost relative are higher, but unceasingly is reducing with the south Zhu Sheng disparity. Moreover, uses the fixed asset investment and other expenses unceasing growths along with the cultivation, this kind raises the pig cost disparity not to be more and more obvious. The experts when accept newspaper reporter the interview pointed out, greatly rises in the present nation live pig price in situation, our province pig-breeding industry superiority then more and more prominent, like production efficiency higher, the market superiority is obvious, does not have the other provinces pig to enter the transportation cost, the body weight loss which our province must pay. Therefore, the nation raises the pig situation as well as the passive epidemic disease and so on aspect and so on many kinds of factors influence looked, in the short-term the live pig market cannot 供过于求. The expert suggested that, second half year starts, is precisely our province raises the pig household greatly unfolds the fist foot time, our province live pig cultivation prospect should favor. The measure dynamically pays attention to the market to investigate rigorously drives up the price: Legally investigates harasses the market behavior The province price bureau concerned person in charge stated, in the near future the pork price greatly will rise situation, although will be the normal market supply and demand relations to cause, but the pricing department will not be able to stand by, will monitor the result according to the near future to demonstrate, each place still did not have artificially to drive up the meat price the situation. But, this person in charge indicated that, will make pays attention to the market price tendency, practically will strengthen the market to do an inspection, like the discovery will drive up the price, harasses the market order the illegal activity, legally will give to investigate. Moreover, through each way, will guide the consumer to be correct, rationally regards the meat price rise question, will cause the market health development. The Guangzhou 经贸委 concerned person in charge also indicated, since the end of last year meat price rise, the government department concerned all in continuously closely has paid attention. Will rise once more regarding the short-term meat price, the department concerned will continue to pay attention to the meat price development tendency, in the essential situation will be able to appear the corresponding measure, in special need situation, also will be able to consider the start country reserve meat.
