CEBU CITY – The provincial government of Bohol has intensified its preventive measures and containment of suspected cases of African Swine Fever (ASF) especially in three barangays in one of the province’s 47 towns.

CEBU CITY – The provincial government of Bohol has intensified its preventive measures and containment of suspected cases of African Swine Fever especially in three barangays in one of the province’s 47 towns.

Although three barangays in Dauis town have logged ASF cases, Bohol remains under “light green” zone, the Provincial ASF Inter-Agency Task Force said. A green zone means ASF was not detected and considered a moderate risk in mainland Bohol. Dr. Anthony Damalerio, head of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, emphasized the need for public cooperation in strengthening the task force's efforts to protect the province’s P6-billion hog industry from the contagious ASF. “Let’s help each other. We urge the public to fully cooperate," Damalerio said.

There are about 48,000 hog raisers in mainland Bohol with 80 percent categorized as small backyard with the remaining 20 percent commercial.
