The QC Veterinary Department said at least two pigs have recently already died in the same barangay although the cause of death was unknown.
The Veterinary Department earlier said it will cull all pigs in the barangay if samples taken from the dead pigs found in a stream test positive for African Swine Fever.
Quezon City Veterinarian Dr Ana Maria Cabel told GMA News that the three dead pigs and one pig head found in the stream had already been burned after samples were taken by the Bureau of Animal Industry. —Tina Panganiban-Perez/KBK, GMA News
