C.P Pork Department: Real sick pig images, Soc Trang announces test results

On June 2, the authorities of Hau Giang province inspected 2 cattle slaughterhouses D.N. (Phung Hiep district) and N.D. (Chau Thanh A district). These are 2 slaughterhouses processed for C.P. Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company.

In particular, the image of pigs with signs of illness (shown on March 26, 2022) that the accuser of C.P. company mixed sick pigs for sale on the market posted on social networks was said to have been taken at the D.N. slaughterhouse.

At the meeting, Mr. Ha Huu Tam, manager of the slaughterhouse of C.P.'s branch in Hau Giang, said that the above image was taken at the D.N. slaughterhouse to save the report to the veterinarian.

Mr. Tam also said that at that time, all 3 parties determined that "the pig could not be guaranteed to be put on the market", so they signed a decision to destroy it.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Cuong, a representative of D.N. slaughterhouse (Phung Hiep district), said that the pigs were imported healthy and had full quarantine certificates. During the long slaughter process, some animals showed signs of skin (abnormal signs), so he reported to the company for destruction. "There was one that day," Mr. Cuong said.

According to Mr. Cuong, the company's employees directly took pictures and sent the company via Zalo for destruction.

Mr. Cuong affirmed that the pig had been destroyed, with the confirmation of the veterinarian, company staff and the slaughterhouse. His slaughterhouse did not export any pigs to Soc Trang.
