The Svay Rieng Provincial Animal Health Department’s mobile inspection team seized 115 live pigs being transported in a minivan. Department director Pen Chanthy said: “Our mobile team intercepted a minivan that they suspected of smuggling live pigs across the border illegally from Vietnam.”

 

He added that the team was following instructions from the Agriculture Ministry not to allow the trafficking of live animals over concerns of disease, in particular, African swine flu which has been detected in Vietnam and Thailand.

 

Chanthy said that blood samples were taken and sent to the Animal Health Department. Agriculture Ministry Animal Health Department director Tan Phanara said: “Cambodia is taking strict measures to test all imported pigs from those countries with cases of this virus but now we have totally banned importing them.”
