African swine fever (ASF) is spreading rapidly in Asia and was confirmed in Mongolia on 10 January 2019. Following the outbreak confirmation, a state emergency committee was established with representation from municipal authorities and other relevant authorities including the General Authority for Veterinary Services, National Emergency Management Agency, General Agency for Specialized Inspection, and the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. The committee provided recommendations and coordinated closely with the State Central Veterinary Laboratory to ensure quick outbreak investigation and response. In addition to outbreak investigations, sampling took place at farms and food premises and suggests a link between the outbreaks and swill feeding practices among backyard pig farmers. Upon government request, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) deployed an expert team to assist in identifying risk factors for the disease spread and provide recommendations as how to improve disease prevention and response. Following the control measures from the involved agencies, the epidemic was successfully controlled and declared over on 11 April 2019. In total, the epidemic affected 83 pig farming households and led to a total of 2862 dead or culled pigs in eleven districts of seven provinces in Mongolia.
非洲猪瘟（ASF）正在亚洲迅速蔓延，并于2019年1月10日在蒙古得到确认。疫情确认后，成立了一个国家应急委员会，成员包括市政当局和其他相关当局，其中有兽医服务总局、国家应急管理局、专业检查总局以及环境与旅游部。该委员会提供了建议，并与国家中央兽医实验室密切协调，以确保对疫情进行快速调查和应对。除了疫情调查外，还在农场和食品场所进行了采样，结果表明疫情与后院养猪户的泔水喂养方式之间存在关联。应政府要求，联合国粮食及农业组织（粮农组织）部署了一个专家小组，协助确定疾病传播的风险因素，并就如何改进疾病预防和应对工作提供建议。在相关机构采取控制措施后，疫情于2019年4月11日得到成功控制并宣布结束。此次疫情共影响了蒙古七个省11个地区的83个养猪户，导致总计2862头猪死亡或被扑杀。
