Swine fever resurfaces in Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: African swine fever (ASF) has resurfaced in Sabah after it was detected in a herd of pigs at a farm in the state’s interior Keningau district on Jan 7, says Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.

He said the district Veterinary Services Department (DVS) has taken immediate measures to cull and stop the movement of the pigs from the farm, where 12 of 20 pigs tested positive for ASF.
