BUKIDNON, a major livestock and poultry producer, has set up biosecurity measures at its borders to prevent the entry of African Swine Fever (ASF). Travelers are required to get off vehicles and step on a foot bath while vehicles are sprayed with disinfectants. Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol (in blue shirt), chair of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), said it is supporting efforts by local government units and hog industry stakeholders in conducting a Mindanao-wide education campaign on ASF. He said MinDA is preparing a request to the government for financial support to procure more efficient biosecurity equipment and facilities.
