Thai pig farmer Jintana Jamjumrus, 75, suspected two years ago that her herd had been infected with African swine fever when dozens of animals died after developing symptoms.
But the Thai government insisted up until last month that the deadly viral pig disease - which has killed hundreds of pigs in Europe and Asia - had not entered Thailand.
The Thai government has now detected the swine fever in 22 areas in 13 provinces and culled more than 400 pigs in affected smallholder farms, said Bunyagith Pinprasong, director of the Bureau of Disease Control and Veterinary Services. Small farmers' herds were halved to 1 million pigs, accounting for the bulk of the loss in the national herd, which stands at 10.85 million, down 17% from last year's 13.1 million, the data shows.
