A truck transporting 60 live pigs was impounded in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district for not having a health certificate issued by specialists tasked with controlling animal movement.
The pigs were identified as domestically raised but will be tested for Asian swine fever (ASF) and if found to be infected, they will be destroyed.
On the night of July 17, an intervention group from the General Department of Animal Health and Production under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries stopped the truck on National Road 2 in the district’s Chak Angre Krom commune without proper documentation issued by the department’s production and veterinary bureau.
