00:00Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome has been confirmed on one farm in North Trinidad via lab testing.
00:08However, the origin is still unknown.
00:10No, no. But the site saw it two years ago in South and now it reached up on this side.
00:18And they never explained how they discovered it, how it reached on the South Side.
00:23The industry of agriculture has warned farmers not to smoke.
00:30But Marjorie notes his pigs have always been sourced locally.
00:37Illegal pig buying will be like buying from South America, Venezuela and them things.
00:42I would have talked about it. No buying no animals from coming in.
00:46So I don't see it with the pigs. Mostly see it with the cow and sheep.
00:50But I personally never buy everything. All my pigs is local.
00:55The farmer says all of his pigs, a total of 264, will have to be slaughtered as part of a containment strategy.
01:09He's estimating his losses to be in the vicinity of $700,000.
01:32Government recently established an emergency relief fund for farmers.
01:38The only thing I should stand here is the sheep.
01:41But the sale, they tell me how we came and this, what gave me that, nothing so far.
01:46So we can still see.
01:48The Ministry of Agriculture has given the assurance that local pork remains safe for human consumption.
01:54TV6 News is awaiting additional updates from the Ministry.
