The News Letter also noted that until further notice live pigs would not be accepted at collecting depots at Kilrea and Maghera.
The collecting depots at Dungiven, Limavady, Londonderry, Victoria Bridge and Coleraine had all previously been closed.
The News Letter reported: “Pigs on farms within the scheduled district, now extended, must not be slaughtered for sale to roll and ham curers nor should pigs be slaughtered on farms outside the scheduled district for delivery to roll and ham curers within that district.”
