‘Mor Ong’ depressed the ethics of ‘veterinarians’, Department of Livestock Development concealed ASF, made ‘expensive pigs’ aggravate people’s stomachs, skeptical of the intention of ‘funding big’ to release small farmers into extinction
On January 10, Mr. Padiphat Santipada, Phitsanulok MP, Kao Klai Party (Kor Kor) spoke regarding the current pork situation that As a former veterinarian who worked in the animal industry before He was well aware of the problems in the veterinary and livestock community. But I’ve never felt so depressed regarding concealing the truth regarding the African Swine Fever: ASF of the Department of Livestock Development. Because the lack of adherence to the veterinarian’s code of conduct has had a huge impact on all sectors. whether it is the mouth of the people’s brothers and sisters that the economy is not good Many people have lost their incomes greatly due to the COVID-19 situation. but had to face higher expenses from the cost of living As for the restaurant operators themselves, they have to bear the costs. There are a lot of people who can’t take it, so they have to ask for a price increase. making trading more difficult
“Some people might say that pork is expensive. Pork chopping board traders make a profit The truth is not like that at all. Every morning I go to explore the fresh market in Phitsanulok. Many pig stalls have stopped selling because they can’t stand the condition of loss. or unable to find pigs to sell The pigs that we can find are only poor quality pigs. People don’t buy them. The surviving farm pigs are very expensive from the front of the farm. causing merchants to have high costs Just selling at cost is still difficult to sell. because people avoid to buy something else But if you are willing to bear the price yourself, you will only be ruined and ruined.
“Some people are reluctant to try to buy live pigs from the magnate to sell, as it is published on social media that the price is not friendly. One baht is not reduced. But the seller hasn’t seen the pork before. When I received it, it was a pig, but it mightn’t be sold. All the good quality pork was sent to the department store itself. On the side of pig farmers, not to mention The cost is high since the cost of animal feed. But when one of the pigs died and the livestock said that it was not ASF, but PRRS would destroy all the pigs, fear did not compensate. Had to hurry up to cut the pork and sell it at a cheap price. It’s better to cry tears of loss than a dead pig to raise a farm with no money at all. when not controlled The infection spread throughout the country. As a result, more than 5-6 million pigs die and disappear from the system per year, and the pig farmers themselves are discouraged. If the state does not admit that there is an ASF outbreak in the country Even if there is a loan to support him back to raise, as announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, he will not return to raise. Because it’s like fooling around to ruin the 2nd round, treating them to death but there is no one responsible and still have to bear more debt Now, from 200,000 pig farmers, it is reduced to only 80,000. This problem will never be solved without starting from the government’s acceptance of the truth,” said Padipat.
Mr. Padipat went on to say that If the government insists that there is no ASF epidemic, why is there a resolution? The Cabinet approved the use of the central budget to destroy the pigs and pay compensation. But there is no document that clearly indicates what disease it is. As for reports of PRRS, it is unbelievable that the entire pig farm will be destroyed. He has been following this issue continuously and has reflected on this issue through the House of Representatives in an urgent verbal motion. A case of solving the problem of lumbiskin disease in cattle Since June 17, 2021, because the true heart of this problem is a deficiencies in animal quarantine control systems as a whole. which observations and proposals From the House of Representatives that day will have to send a report to the government to solve the problem. And this situation has been going on for a few years since the start of the unusual death of pigs in the border provinces. Neighboring states have seen ASF outbreaks in Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, where we are facing an emerging disease in animals from horses, followed by cattle, and then pigs, all of which are native to Africa. This raises the question of whether the import measures Quarantine and control of animal epidemics in Thailand by the Department of Livestock Development Are there still so many vulnerabilities that Thailand is known as the epidemic hub of African animals?
The skepticism of the Department of Livestock Development under the supervision of the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives over the past few years has caused great damage to the animal industry in Thailand. And it is causing major structural changes that will extinct smallholder farmers. And it seems that the intention is to happen to facilitate this kind of situation. by large capital, little damage very helpful
Mr. Padipat said Covering up ASF outbreaks in pigs causes small farms or farmers to stop raising pigs. and had to sell the surviving pigs at a loss. But the big capital doesn’t have this problem because there are freezers. Soaked pork can be slaughtered and released to the market. Be the sole proprietor in a day when no other pigs can be found in the market. Benefit from both price and without competitors. Moreover, the absence of official reports of ASF infections in Thailand over the past few years has allowed pig exports to remain unaffected. Farmers know regarding this, slaughterhouses know, and veterinarians know. Associate Dean of Veterinary Science of Thailand 14 institutions therefore must write to the Director-General of the Department of Livestock Development. From December 7, 2021 to express concern for the epidemic situation and disease control. in the confirmation letter for ASF found in pig carcasses sent for autopsy and stated that it had reported the disease detection to the Department of Livestock Development in accordance with the requirements of the Animal Epidemic Act B.E. 2558 as well as asking the Department of Livestock to control the disease urgently To prevent more serious damage to farmers and the pig farming industry in Thailand The facts were so evident. But the relevant departments and governments are still adamant that this type of ASF is not found, so we don’t know who is doing it to protect the interests of anyone. But as far as I know, it’s definitely not for the benefit of the people.
