Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Small and Mid-Sized Pig Farms: Lessons from Taiwan's First African Swine Fever Case, 2025
Taiwan confirmed its first African swine fever case at a Taichung farm, with 109 cases and 106 deaths, and the military took over farm disinfection. What should Thai pig farms prepare?
The Real Story from the News: The Military Took Over Disinfection
Pork Business reported on 5 November 2025 that Taiwan confirmed its first African swine fever case on 25 October 2025 at a Taichung farm with 301 pigs, 109 cases and 106 deaths; the remaining 195 pigs were euthanised.
The military took over site sterilisation from the Taichung city government, which had twice failed to complete it. The farm stayed locked down, and under WOAH rules Taiwan needs three ASF-free months to regain its status.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
ASF does not infect people, but it has no widely available vaccine and devastates farms. Control rests with vets and livestock authorities. Taiwan shows incomplete disinfection must be redone, so farms should keep spraying equipment and procedures ready for gates, vehicles and pens, following official guidance.

Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does ASF infect people? A: No, but it devastates farms; follow vets and livestock authorities.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Health References
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Summary
Taiwan shows even long-free countries can face ASF. Farms with biosecurity and equipment ready respond in time.
