(Photo courtesy of the province of Ilocos Norte) LAOAG CITY - At least 230 hog raisers from Ilocos Norte province who were previously hit by the African swine fever (ASF) have received recovery aid courtesy of the provincial government. Provincial veterinarian Loida Valenzuela confirmed this on Thursday, saying that the beneficiaries included those not covered by insurance packages from the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation. "The latest beneficiaries were from Laoag City, Batac City, Banna, Solsona, San Nicolas, Paoay, Marcos and Vintar," said Valenzuela, adding that this is now the fourth batch of distribution of recovery aid to hog raisers. The hog raisers received cash ranging from PHP5,000 to PHP100,000 depending on the number of hogs affected with others also getting food packs and vegetable seeds. Apart from the hog repopulation program of the Department of Agriculture, the Ilocos Norte government has also allotted PHP5.3 million for recovery assistance. Previously, an estimated PHP2.5 million has been used for the construction of permanent and temporary shelters for animal evacuation, PHP2.5 million for livelihood assistance through the provision of resilient animals and feeds, and for the assistance of animal shelters through the provision of feeds, and medicines, among others. Valenzuela said the province is currently under the "yellow zone," pending an official declaration from the DA that the province is ASF-free. Meantime, the provincial government reinforced its ASF safeguards by prohibiting the transport of live hogs, pork meat and other pork-based processed products without proper documents. (PNA) }

Ilocos Norte steps up vaccination following rabies cases

(Contributed photo) LAOAG CITY - Ilocos Norte has stepped up its anti-rabies vaccination drive after two cases were reported in the past few months. Provincial veterinarian Loida Valenzuela of the Ilocos Norte Provincial Veterinary Office said the cases were recorded in Batac and Badoc. "Massive anti-rabies vaccination in the affected barangays are now ongoing in Batac City to be followed by Badoc as soon as possible," Valenzuela said in an interview on Wednesday. She said the private animal industry sector and the provincial government are both helping provide an "augmentation and counterpart strategy" to procure more vaccines and prevent the spread of rabies. Meanwhile, Valenzuela reminded pet owners to become responsible and ensure that their pets are kept from stressful situations, such as exposure to hot daytime temperatures or confinement in a cage all day. Ilocos Norte was earlier named as one of the top-performing local government units for rabies prevention and control, with zero human and canine rabies cases until the lone case recorded in Batac in late 2022. Records from the National Rabies Prevention and Control program showed that 300 to 600 Filipinos die of rabies every year. Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in humans and warm-blooded animals, with dogs being the most commonly involved. Early signs of the viral disease include fever and tingling at the bite site, usually followed by violent excitability, a fear of water, paralysis in some parts of the body, or loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the disease is nearly fatal, usually manifesting one to three months after the bite. (PNA) }

Ilocos Norte starts hog repopulation in 'pink zones'

SENTINEL PROGRAM. Some of the sentinel piglets being distributed in Ilocos Norte province to qualified recipients outside areas affected by the African swine fever. Provincial veterinarian Dr. Loida Valenzuela said Wednesday (Aug. 24, 2022) that each recipient will receive three sentinel piglets and a sack of animal feeds courtesy of the provincial government. (Photo courtesy of the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte FB page) LAOAG CITY - The provincial government of Ilocos Norte has started distributing sentinel piglets in areas declared as "pink" zones after more than a year of battling the African swine fever (ASF). Provincial veterinarian Loida Valenzuela said Wednesday that 15 hog raisers in Pasuquin town received three sentinel piglets each while 135 piglets more are set to be given to 45 other recipients in Solsona town. "We are just waiting for the laboratory results," said Valenzuela. She added that the selected areas for the program are those in the buffer zone, where ASF disease is not present but adjacent to an infected zone or an area previously infected but the virus has not been detected for at least 90 days and thus has recovered from infected status. According to Valenzuela, the first batch of sentinel piglets came from the province's breeding station in Pasuquin town, and the recipients who requested it underwent a thorough evaluation. To assist the qualified hog raisers, each recipient also received one sack of animal feeds courtesy of the provincial government. She reiterated that hog raisers whose farms are located within the 500-meter radius of the previously affected ASF zone will not be allowed to start hog repopulation until they are cleared based on laboratory test results. Aside from the establishment of animal quarantine checkpoints on border highways of the province to monitor the entry of undocumented meat and other processed food products, the Ilocos Norte government through the Provincial Veterinary Office deployed barangay biosecurity officers (BBOs) to its 559 villages to further strengthen the province's efforts to contain ASF. The BBOs serve as front-liners of the Bantay ASF program which may include community- or village-based animal technicians, barangay animal health workers, barangay livestock aides, or any person assigned by the municipality or city at the barangay.
