PUBLIC ADVISORY

It has come to our attention that there are various unconfirmed reports circulating of a possible Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak in the country. The Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) would like to ensure the public that the country still maintains its FMD Free Status and would like to clarify that the recently reported Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) outbreak in Batangas is different from FMD, which exclusively affects livestock.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) has put into place key measures to maintain our FMD Free Status through regular animal health surveillance, strict border control management and constant coordination with our Regional and Provincial FMD coordinators across the country. The DA issued Memorandum Order No. 44 Series of 2022, temporarily banning importation of FMD - Susceptible Animals, Products and By-Products originating from Indonesia due to its reported FMD outbreak last May 2022.

We encourage all stakeholders to remain vigilant and to immediately report sudden unexplained illness of livestock to the nearest agricultural office within your area or to the BAI - Animal Health and Welfare Division through email at [email protected] or hotline 0995 132 9338 (Globe) and 0920 854 3119 (Smart).

Here is a template of Veterinary Health Certificate or VHC that your Veterinarian may use to certify the health condition and vaccination of your dogs and cats.

Take note! VHC is one of the important requirements in applying your Shipping Permit.

Philippines' Dog-Mediated Rabies Program Endorsed by the OIE

The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has endorsed the Philippines' Dog-Mediated Rabies Program last May 27, 2021. This endorsement certifies that the Philippines' program are in line with international standards.

This is a momentous achievement of the country in its continuous efforts to eradicate Rabies from our local dog and cat population by 2030. We therefore invite the general public and pet owners to support the government's program on the control of this deadly but preventable disease. Let us keep in mind to ensure that our pets are properly vaccinated against rabies. "Rabies ay Iwasan, alagang a*o at pusa ay pabakunahan".

The Certification could have not been possible without the close collaboration of the Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, Department of Education, Department of Interior and Local Government, Local Government Units, Non-Government Organizations, the Academe and our partners from the Private Sector. # # #

In observance of the Eid’l Fitr, AHWS will be closed on May 13, 2021 (Thursday).

Office will resume on Friday (May 14, 2021) from 8:00AM - 2:30PM ONLY.

‼️

Here is a Notice to the Public in connection to the numerous complaints received by BAI-AHWD. Protect the animals and yourself as pet buyers.

FYI

Be a responsible owner by having your pets dewormed and vaccinated BY A VETERINARIAN regularly! 🐶🐱

Below are the animal health programs for your dogs and cats:

Note: Interval of anti-rabies re-vaccination protocol depends on your local regulations (please contact your respective LGU’s for more information)

ISANG PAALALA! ⛔️

Isang paalala mga ka-Agri!

Sa ating pag-gunita ng Semana Santa, isapuso rin natin ang pag-iingat upang hindi na lumaganap pa ang ASF. Huwag magdala ng baboy at produktong baboy sa inyong destinasyon. Ang ASF ay maaring kumalat sa pamamagitan ng pagdadala ng baboy at produktong baboy na kontaminado ng ASF virus.
