Author: DA Communications Group | 13 February 2021
In partnership with local government units, private sector, and veterinary and hog raisers groups, the Department of Agriculture (DA) formally launched in Batangas City the national hog repopulation and Bantay sa ASF sa Barangay twin program, with a combined public and private investments of P29.6 billion, aimed at effectively controlling the dreaded African Swine Fever (ASF) and reviving the badly-hit swine industry. We chose Batangas because this is where the Bantay ASF sa Barangay or BABay ASF was born, alongside the hog repopulation program, formally called the Integrated National Swine Production Initiatives for Recovery and Expansion (INSPIRE), said Agriculture Secretary William Dar.
