The DLD order on temporary suspension of importation of live domestic pigs and wild pigs and their carcasses from Myanmar to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever

According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 11 November 2022, the suspension for importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Myanmar since 13 November 2022 has expired on 10 February 2023. However, Myanmar has no self-declaration for the recovery of country freedom from African swine fever from WOAH. Therefore, it is necessary for Thailand to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever disease into the country. By the virtue of Animal Epidemics Act B.E. 2558 (2015), the importation of live domestic and wild pigs and their carcasses from Myanmar is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after the date of publication in the Thai Royal Gazette (7 February 2023).
