AFRICAN SWINE Fever (ASF) cases have been confirmed in nine villages in Solana, Cagayan, acting Provincial Veterinarian Noli V. Buen said on Saturday. In a statement released by the provincial government, Mr. Buen said set procedures have immediately been taken to isolate the affected barangays and cull the affected hogs. So far, 54 pigs have been culled and properly disposed, he reported to the provincial management committee meeting Friday. Apart from road checkpoints, Mr. Buen recommended tapping naval forces to help monitor riverside areas on the movement of hogs and pork products.
