On the night of the 14th, biosecurity personnel, dressed in protective clothing, removed dead pigs washed ashore at the Triangle Fort beach in Jin’ning Township. They sampled the pigs and conducted incineration and burial on-site, followed by a thorough disinfection of the surrounding area. The test results released on the 17th confirmed the presence of African swine fever virus nucleic acids, with a 100% similarity to the second genotype of the virus prevalent in China. Agricultural Department’s Quarantine Bureau Director Hsu Rong-bin stated, "It has been determined that the floating pigs originated from China; the second genotype is currently spreading in pig farms across mainland China."

Nearly a year has passed since the last reported case of African swine fever in Kinmen. In response, the Agricultural Department immediately announced a ban on the shipment of fresh pork and pork products from Kinmen to Taiwan from the 17th to the 23rd. The Coast Guard Administration has also enhanced border control and meat inspection measures, deploying backscatter X-ray inspection devices. During a visit to the Liouluo Commercial Port in Kinmen, Coast Guard Administrator Chang Chung-long announced an increase in personnel to strengthen inspections, mandating 100% safety checks for vessels arriving from affected areas. He emphasized the need for more thorough inspections of illegal fishing boats from mainland China to prevent the transport of diseased or contaminated products. Hsu Rong-bin further added that, "Currently, the country’s overall disease control measures for swine are still at a high standard." Taiwan had only recently achieved the status of being the only country in Asia free from African swine fever, traditional swine fever, and foot-and-mouth disease, but the incursion of these floating pigs has raised significant concerns for biosecurity. The Quarantine Bureau noted that the positive rate for African swine fever in confiscated illegal meat products at the border reached 10%, indicating that the epidemic in Asia remains serious, and all preventive measures should remain stringent.
