PUERTO PRINCESA, Palawan – This province is no longer free of African Swine Fever after an outbreak of the disease has been confirmed in piggeries in Cocoro Island, a barangay in the municipality of Magsaysay.
He disclosed that out of the six blood samples collected from domesticated pigs in Cocoro that were sent to the Bureau of Animal Industry for testing, five were confirmed to be infected with ASF. "The pigs might all be gone, there's no need for culling anymore. What we'll do instead is disinfection. We'll place lime on the sites where the pigs were buried by the farmers and residents in order to contain the virus," Mangcucang said.
He said they would also conduct continuous monitoring, gathering of blood samples, and quarantine assessments.
