PIG FARMERS' COOPERATION SOUGHT *****
PIG FARMERS WERE TODAY URGED TO TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS IN KEEPING THE NEW TERRITORIES FREE FROM POLLUTION AND TO CO-OPERATE WITH THE AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES DEPARTMENT IN THIS EFFORT.
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES FACING THE PIG-RAISING INDUSTRY AT PRESENT CONCERNED THE INDISCRIMINATE DISCHARGE OF PIG WASTE, THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES, DR C.T. WONG SAID.
HE WAS SPEAKING AT A CEREMONY TO PRESENT HIGH-QUALITY PIGS PURCHASED RECENTLY BY HONG KONG PIG FARMERS FROM THE UNITED STATES FOR BREEDING.
FORTY-TWO PIGS WERE BOUGHT FOR SUCH PURPOSES BY PIG FARMERS OF THE FEDERATION OF PIG RAISING CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES DURING A STUDY TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES IN APRIL THIS YEAR.
THE PIGS HAVE UNDERGONE THE 28-DAY QUARANTINE PERIOD AND HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE PIG FARMERS FOR RAISING.
DR WONG PRAISED THE FEDERATION FOR ITS EFFORTS DURING THE PAST YEAR IN KEEPING THE COSTS OF RAISING PIGS DOWN BY THE BULK PURCHASE OF FEEDS, BREEDING STOCKS AND MEDICINE FOR LIVESTOCK COLLECTIVELY.
