Despite the developments of vaccines against animal viral diseases, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said there is still danger and the government must look out for it.Speaking at the opening of the Livestock Philippines 2023 on Wednesday, July 5, Marcos stressed the need to detect and prevent the spread of animal diseases such as African swine fever and avian influenza.
The chief executive, who is also the current Agriculture secretary, said that the government is making progress in procuring Avian Influenza vaccines."This gives us great hope as we have been waiting for this for a very long time. However, it is not a reason for complacency as we are being continuously warned by those who have studied the vaccine. The vaccine is 80 percent effective. There is still a 20 percent that we need to look out for very carefully," Marcos said.
"I also urge all concerned government agencies and stakeholders to engage in productive dialogue and share our best ideas, practices, and technologies to advance our poultry and livestock industries," Marcos said. He likewise encouraged all stakeholders to make the most of the knowledge and tools made available at the trade fair to establish a more food-secure, sustainable, and resilient Philippines.
