MANILA, Philippines — Vaccines for African swine fever or ASF could soon be available in the country once the clinical trials for a Vietnam-made vaccine by the local agriculture product firm KPP Powers Commodities are completed and proven successful.
KPP Powers said safety and efficacy trials using the AVAC ASF Live vaccine are being conducted, under the supervision of the Bureau of Animal Industry, in four local farms. These trials are expected to be completed in April.
Juancho Robles, KPP Powers managing director, said they partnered with AVAC Vietnam Joint Stock for the Philippine distribution of AVAC ASF Live Vaccine, which has been proven effective in protecting pigs against ASF disease in the Southeast Asian neighbor.
