SERIAN: Adopting the latest technology in pig farming can significantly lower the risk of livestock diseases, especially African Swine Fever (ASF).
According to Minister of Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development, Datuk Seri Dr Stephen Rundi Utom, modern pig farming farm uses a closed enclosure system that ensures a controlled environment, reduces the risk of disease, and maximises livestock growth.
“The farm also uses high-quality pig breeds from the United States and is equipped with quarantine and disinfection facilities to ensure a high level of biosecurity,” he said.
He said this during a special visit to the pig farming farm located at Jalan Ensengei Baki here on Friday to witness the methods and technology used by its owner, Greenlife Agritech (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd.
Meanwhile, Greenlife Agritech is targeting the production of 144,000 pigs through the implementation of the farming project which is scheduled in three phases.
Each phase of this project will last two years, starting this year and ending in 2029, where the owner is targeting the production of 48,000 pigs per phase.
