Sixty-six goats imported from US tested positive for Q fever on June 20.
“There will be further investigation after those who were suspended requested creation of panel, .. message of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. and entire agency is that, corresponding action from department will be done if there is negligence or such action will cause a problem,” De Mesa noted.
Regulatory agencies, such as BAI, Bureau of Plant Industry and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources are expected to implement adjustments to prevent similar incidents, De Mesa said.
