Abstract :
Data on serological test were collected from eight sows and two boars, (4 Large White sows, 2 Large Black sows, 2 Duroc sows, 1 Large White boar and 1 NigerHyb boar) which were survivors of the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak in a farm at Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 2005. From these fifty-two (52) pigs were generated in the F1 and sixty (60) pigs in the F2 generation. The pigs were used to determine the presence of ASF antibody.
The serological test for determining the presence of ASF antibody showed that all the ASF recovered pigs tested positive while also 18.79% of the F1 and 6.25% of the F2 pigs tested equally positive.
