“Movement control measures are being implemented, and coordination with the local government units is ongoing,” said the DA-BAI. The agency encouraged those raising pigs to report unusual pig illnesses and deaths to their local agriculture and veterinary offices. They are also advised to stop feeding their pigs food scraps and to intensify biosecurity measures.
“The public is advised not to panic and to cooperate with the authorities on the implementation of ASF control protocols in the province,” said the DA-BAI.
