THE Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries has confirmed that a pig farm in Trinidad and Tobago has tested positive for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) – a contagious viral disease that affects pigs – but has assured that local pork is still safe for consumption, as the virus cannot be transmitted to people.
A release from the ministry on August 5 confirmed the outbreak.
The release said the ministry activated a national emergency response plan immediately after confirming the outbreak.
