More livestock found dead

Mysterious deaths: Wild boars found dead near a ditch at a lodge in Sabah’s Sukau area.

KOTA KINABALU: Authorities are getting more reports of wild boars and domestic pigs dying in the east coast areas of Sabah.

However, there is no confirmation so far by either the Sabah Veterinary Department or Sabah Wildlife Department that the deaths were linked to the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak in Sabah’s northern Pitas district where culling of livestock is taking place.
