KUCHING: The Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) will clamp down on the illegal trade of bearded pigs in Sarawak to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) into the wild population.
This comes after Sarawak banned the import of pigs, pork and pork products from Sabah following the detection of ASF among pigs in Sabah's Pitas district.
SFC chief executive Zolkipli Mohamad Aton said the illegal wildlife trade was a potential conduit for the virus to head into wild animals.
"To prevent any potential for ASF occurrence in the wild, SFC will scale up field enforcement at wet markets, illegal wild meat sale hotspots and logging areas to curb the commercial sale of wild meat," he said in a statement on Tuesday (Feb 23).
