Philippines: ASF reaches more provinces

Philippine Agriculture Secretary William Dar has confirmed ASF in Cavite and Nueva Ecija.

According to Philstar, African swine fever (ASF) has reached the southern part of Luzon even as the government scrambles to contain the disease, which threatens the P260-billion hog industry.

Agriculture Secretary William Dar confirmed that pigs in two barangays in Dasmariñas, Cavite and in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija tested positive for ASF.

The Business Mirror informs that the DA it still conducting an investigation on how ASF spread to Cavite but noted that the province is proximate to neighboring Rizal province, which is the country’s first ground zero for the fatal hog disease.

To date, there are now more than 20 barangays who are confirmed affected by ASF in the Philippines.
