Flash floods have disrupted pig production, resulting in higher operating costs with farmers bearing more burden, a pig farmer told Thai Enquirer on Tuesday.

 

“Flash flood hit my farm on the night of October 12, the pigs were left stranded in a stall as they couldn’t be moved off in time. Some died and several have escaped,” Wallop Ura, a pig farmer told Thai Enquirer.

He said that as the flood has severely affected production, the estimated loss of income meant that it was not worth carrying on.

How long for before they tire and drown? Even ducklings can drown.
