Diseased swine destroyed in central Cuba

HAVANA, March 2 (Moisés Leonardo Rodríguez) - Agricultural health officials have been destroying diseased swine in the area of Cabaiguán, in the central Cuban province of Sancti Spíritus since mid February.

A local resident, Pastor Ibrahim Pina, said authorities have been examining the animals and that the ones determined to be diseased are incinerated.

Officials first tried to use drugs to combat the disease, said Pina, but after they proved ineffective, they undertook the eradication program. Authorities have not announced the name or nature of the disease, said Pina.
