In the last three days, CVO teams have culled a total of 508 hogs from 54 raisers. The culled hogs were properly disposed of based on standard protocol at the city’s sanitary landfill site in Barangay Sinawal, Marin said.
He added that they also intensified the enforcement activities in the city’s seven quarantine checkpoints along the border highways and other alternate entry points to bar unauthorized hogs and banned pork products. The official said they initially received a report last Jan. 21 regarding the sudden deaths among the stocks of backyard hog raisers in Purok San Lorenzo.
