Vietnam has culled more than 1.2 million farmed pigs infected with African swine fever, the government said Monday, as the virus continues to spread rapidly in the Southeast Asian country.

越南政府周一時表示，隨著非洲豬瘟繼續在這個東南亞國家迅速傳播，越南已宰殺了120多萬頭感染該病毒的養殖豬。

Pork accounts for three-quarters of total meat consumption in Vietnam, a country of 95 million people where most of its 30 million farm-raised pigs are consumed domestically.

在擁有9,500萬人口的越南，豬肉占肉類消費總量的四分之三，該國3,000萬頭養豬場飼養的豬肉大部分用於國內消費。

The virus was first detected in Vietnam in February and has spread to 29 provinces, including Dong Nai, which supplies around 40 percent of the pork consumed in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam』s southern economic hub.

這種豬瘟病毒於今年2月在越南首次被發現，並已蔓延至29個省份，其中包括同奈省，而越南南部經濟中心胡志明市所消費的食用豬肉中約有40%都來自同奈省。

「The risk of the virus spreading further is very high and the evolution of the outbreak is complicated,」 the government said in a statement.

政府在一份聲明中表示：「豬瘟進一步傳播的風險非常高，疫情的演變非常複雜。」

It said many provinces had failed to detect outbreaks and cull infected pigs properly due to a lack of funds and the space needed for burying the dead pigs.

越南政府表示，由於缺乏資金和埋葬死豬所需的空間，許多省份未能發現疫情並妥善撲殺受感染的豬。

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in March advised Vietnam to declare the swine fever outbreak as a national emergency.

鑒於越南的非洲豬瘟疫情，聯合國糧農組織今年3月建議越南政府宣布國家進入緊急狀態。
