Speed up hog vaccination vs ASF, DA urged
The Philippine Star|September 05, 2024
Hograisers’ groups yesterday asked the Department of Agriculture (DA) to hasten the vaccination of pigs against African swine fever (ASF) to prevent further losses in the swine industry.
Bella Cariaso

Nicanor Briones, president of the Agricultural Sector Alliance of the Philippines said the DA should work double time to lessen the effects of the disease on local pork production and supply.

Briones said the swine industry has lost P150 billion to ASF since 2019.

He said the decision of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. to launch the ASF vaccination program through the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) is commendable, but the program is moving slowly in provinces with ASF outbreaks.
