Foot and mouth disease hits South Korean pig farms
South Korea confirmed this week that foot and mouth disease killed 280 pigs near Ansung and infected 50 more at Jinchun, prompting a nationwide ban on livestock movements and strict fumigation. Officials said 1,000 pigs will be slaughtered at Jinchun as authorities trace and contain the outbreak amid Japan suspending imports from Korea. The illness, not dangerous to humans, has devastated pork exports in prior outbreaks and underscores ongoing biosecurity concerns.
