The culling of hogs within the 500-meter radius from infected premises would follow, to prevent the spread of the disease, according to the agriculture office.
Earlier, at least 891 pigpens and piggeries had been geotagged for easier monitoring and mapping of hog raisers in the town.FEATURED STORIES
