According to the announcement of the Government Gazette dated 12 October 2022, the suspension for importation of live domestic and wild pigs  and their carcasses from Italy since 28 October 2022 has expired on 25 January 2023. However, the WOAH has reported a continued outbreak of African Swine Fever in the area of Italy. 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 Italy is temporarily suspended for a period of 90 days after the date of publication in the Thai Royal Gazette (6 February 2023).
