00:00 The price of pork has increased in some families because of the heat.
00:07 Meanwhile, it is expected that the third and last vaccine against ASF will be finished by June.
00:14 This is what Clayzel Pardilio reported.
00:16 Lovely has been going around five places.
00:21 She can only find pork that fits her budget.
00:25 She brought 150 pesos for half a kilo of pork.
00:30 But the price in the Commonwealth Market is 160.5 pesos or 320 pesos per kilo.
00:38 The price has increased.
00:39 The budget is just a little.
00:40 So?
00:41 Just half.
00:43 According to some sellers, the price of pork has increased by 20 pesos per kilo.
00:48 In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture, the price of pork and pork is ranging from 300 to 420 pesos.
00:57 Most of the pork is now dead because of the heat.
01:03 That's it.
01:04 So?
01:05 The price has increased.
01:07 Aside from the increase in the price of some foods in feeds like soy,
01:11 the National Federation of Hog Farmers said that the pork is affected by the hot weather.
01:18 Some of them are eating and others are suffering from heat stroke.
01:22 Instead of being able to grow them to 115 to 120 kilos in live weight,
01:28 now it's like 90 to 100.
01:32 It's lucky.
01:34 It's very hard.
01:35 There are reasons for heat stroke.
01:39 And of course, if they don't eat, the immune system of the pork is compromised.
01:45 According to the Department of Agriculture, the price of pork in the livestock industry has increased by more than 10 million pesos.
01:54 But according to the NatFed, the price of pork should be only 340 pesos because the farm gate price is only 200 pesos.
02:03 We have enough supply and the price is low because there are traders who are taking advantage.
02:10 The market monitoring of the DA is already increasing to monitor the price of pork.
02:15 What he's worried about is the effect of the heat stroke on the hog industry.
02:20 During the time of the ASF, when it flooded, it was affected immediately because the ASF travels through water faster.
02:28 So when the farms were flooded, even if they don't have good biosecurity, they were affected.
02:34 The good news, according to the Department of Agriculture, is expected to end in June,
02:41 the third and last phase of the clinical trial of the vaccine against ASF.
02:45 If it's finished, the DA will help the backyard hog raisers to vaccinate their livestock.
02:53 We need to help them. It's important to help them because here in the Philippines,
02:58 70 to 80 percent of our smallholders are those.
03:02 The government has a fund.
03:04 The DA is encouraging the strict use of biosecurity, such as the use of food baths or disinfection.
03:11 He also has technologies that can help in improving biosecurity.
03:16 In the National Livestock 2024 that was held today,
03:20 different technologies were used in the care of the animals,
03:24 such as this automatic feeder that no longer needs to feed and go to the animal's cage.
03:31 It only needs to wait for a while and it will automatically feed the pigs.
03:37 This way, the exposure of pigs to humans with ASF will be reduced.
