Swine Fever decimates 40% of Phl hogs
The Freeman
|April 13, 2025
The Philippine swine sector has incurred billions in losses since the first African Swine Fever outbreak in 2019 and left the current swine population at only 60% of the nearly 13 million heads before the outbreak, the Department of Agriculture reported.

The DA also said that the ASF has led to significant job losses, billions in investments and income, and has hindered efforts toward achieving food security.
Avian Influenza (AI), on the other hand, has caused the culling of over 10 million chickens since its first outbreak in 2017.
Though the World Organization for Animal Health considers the Philippines to be Foot-and-Mouth Disease-free, cases in neighboring countries also continues to pose a substantial risk to the swine and ruminant industries. Like ASF, there is no known cure for FMD.
