KUCHING, March 8 — Pigs from the Pasir Putih farming area in Simunjan are still safe from African Swine Fever and are still being exported to Singapore.
“Not all farms in Sarawak are affected by ASF, but quite a substantial in Miri, Sibu, Betong and Sarikei . That is why we have to block from going to Pasir Putih. “Most of the exported pigs are from Pasir Putih,” he said in a press conference after launching a seminar on “Red Claw Crayfish Culture in Sarawak” here today.
He said while this was “something very frustrating to see”, the Department of Veterinary Services Sarawak had been doing its best in preventing this “disaster” from reoccurring.“If one or two died naturally, the whole farm would be affected. We have to do culling to stop from spreading to another pig farm,” he said.
