CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia orders to temporarily stop all culling activities in Carcar City where the first cases of African Swine Fever have been detected.
She added that most, if not all, of the slaughtered pigs did not show any symptoms of ASF, which had an incubation period ranging between five to seven days. Since the detection of the first case of ASF in the Philippines in 2019, the national government has implemented culling of all livestock, whether healthy or not, within a one-kilometer radius of the infected farm to contain the disease.
Garcia pointed out that ‘testing samples of slaughtered pigs instead of live hogs for ASF did not make any sense’. As a result, she urged authorities to focus their surveillance efforts on swine farms, and not slaughterhouses.
