Decontaminating after ASF outbreak
Please how do I decontaminate my farm in case of the outbreak of Africa Swine Fever?
Top answer
Disclaimer: Folks with PhD (permanent head damage) may argue with this , and this is just anecdotal advice.
My recommendation is to decontaminate surfaces with KNF Protectors as well as to introduce fresh Indigenous Micro Organisms into the bedding/pen area, and complete a fresh Soil Foundation Treatment, so that these microbes will sanitize the environment and make it compatible for mammalian life again.
Also, in your entry and exit points, place a pile of IMO so that each person has to walk through it and get on their feet so that the ASF is not being tracked around.

Drake describes a Philippine farm that African swine fever took out. It still ran a wash-down system, and Drake was still trying to get microbes in. (Office Hours Ep. 3, 35:11)
Drake describes a partner farm there where IMO went on the pen floor, into the feed and onto the pigs' bodies. The pigs became immune. (Office Hours Ep. 43, 20:52)
Drake also states that no Korean natural farming piggery or chicken pen has ever been wiped out by swine flu or bird flu. (Office Hours Ep. 3, 35:48)
The library gives no cleanup steps for after an outbreak, only accounts from farms that used microbes.
