    A survival instinct of some animals is to kill and eat very small litters. This happens in animals that give birth to large numbers of offspring as a reproductive strategy, and while I haven't heard anything about this being the case with ASFs, it wouldn't surprise me. A female would be more reproductively successful, AKA raise more total offspring, if she ditched tiny litters and immediately rebred and began building up her fat stores to nurse a large littler.
    "Why I Have Grey Hair," the story of my life:
