The Department of Agriculture in Bicol is calling for urgent cooperation from local government units as African Swine Fever cases resurface in 12 municipalities across three provinces.
To curb the spread of ASF, DA Bicol and the affected LGUs have initiated the depopulation of hogs within a 500-meter radius of the outbreak sites. A total of 209 swine have been culled between July and August 2024. Safe meat, Guarin stressed, comes from animals slaughtered in accredited facilities. She also warned meat processors against sourcing meat from ASF-affected areas or using “double-dead” meat from pigs that died of disease, particularly ASF.
