The confirmation of the cases, in the cities of Yiyang and Changde, could stoke worries over pork supplies a day after two other fresh cases were reported in the southwestern province of Yunnan.
The ministry said 546 hogs in a pig farm in Yiyang and 268 hogs in Changde were culled after infections were found./.
