A stock farm in Jiangling county of Hubei bought a batch of vaccine for the blue-ear pig disease in June through an illegal channel from Beijing, which resulted in an outbreak of the deadly pig epidemic, causing nearly one million yuan (133,690 $US) of loss, said a ministry spokesman.
Investigations showed that the vaccines were fake products without any production licence and that the company did not exist.
Beijing police have arrested a key suspect and smashed three workshops that made the fake vaccine.
