Thailand Bans Pigs From Laos for 90 Days

Thailand announced a 90-day ban on pig imports from Laos after Laos confirmed it is dealing with an outbreak of African swine fever, according to a June 22 report by Reuters, which cited an official Thailand government agency notice from June 21. The ban covers live pigs and pig carcasses, and follows a recent decision by China to also ban pigs from Laos, Reuters reported.
