The Office of the City Veterinarian (OCVet) on Saturday was still waiting for the result of the confirmatory tests of three blood samples that tested positive for African swine fever (ASF) at the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RADDL) of the Department of Agriculture in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. The confirmatory tests were done at RADDL General Santos City as the Ipil laboratory has no equipment to determine if the viral infection is due to ASF, hog cholera, and porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome, which all have similar signs and symptoms.

Zambo OCVet warns public vs. buying from online meat sellers

ZAMBOANGA CITY - The Office of the City Veterinarian (OCVet) on Thursday urged the public to exercise caution in transacting with online sellers of meat. OCVet chief Dr. Mario Arriola issued the warning as he noted that online sellers of meat have proliferated amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.

He said online sellers must also secure business permits. He also cautioned consumers to refrain from buying meat from ambulant vendors or those who go house-to-house to sell meat in far-flung areas. "When in doubt, do not buy," he added. The office of Arriola, in coordination with the National Meat Inspection Service-Regional Technical Operation Center and local stakeholders, is leading meat safety activities in observance of Meat Safety Consciousness Week, which is set to end Friday.
