Pig farmers tackle threat of disease
NEW ZEALAND - Waikato pig farmers have voted to continue their fight to eradicate a potentially industry-destroying disease, despite the Agriculture Ministry saying it is impossible.
The first in a series of nationwide meetings to develop a strategy of eradication was held in Hamilton last night.
Pork Industry Board chief executive Angus Davidson said it had voted two-to-one in favour of further work on eradicating post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS).
