# Swine fever: How is Asia coping with the outbreak?

> The Philippines reported African swine fever and culled more than 7,000 pigs, adding to culls in China, Vietnam, Laos, Mongolia and Cambodia. The UN says the disease will keep spreading because small farms lack resources to protect their herds.
