I came from a public hearing this afternoon conducted by the local council under the committee of agriculture and food. The said meeting is all about African swine fever awareness and concern. This is part of their effort to make the public more aware about the spread and prevention of the virus since it has already affected some places in the country. Although, there is no detected case yet in our area, they already take measures to prevent the possible entry of the virus in the locality. They already come up an ordinance regarding the matter, created task force, handing information and contacts of the responsible agencies wherein a case is to be reported affecting the swine industry. The public are also cautioned to buy pork meat and meat products in legit sources only to ensure that it underwent quality check and standards before it is made available to the consumers. The security in entry and exit points were also implemented to make it sure that any carrier would be checked before they can pass. How’s your day fellow myLotters? I hope everyone feels good and doing fine.

Nice to know that the local cuncil under Agriculture and Food has undertaken a awareness programme for the people. This is a good this to do, as prevention is better than cure! In India we are doing many such programmes to prevent Dengue fever which cab be dangerous at times! Today I was busy with my horses on my farm as I had few new cases, which of course are under control now!!

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your horses. Yes, at times when there are diseases posing threats, it should be taken up with measures to avoid outbreak and further damages.
