A team of officials from the Animal Husbandry department culled and scientifically buried 94 pigs of a private farm at Peravoor after samples taken from the farm were found positive for African swine fever.
A 15-member task force led by doctors started at work at 10 a.m. and completed it by 2 p.m. on Monday.
The farm premises will be disinfected on Tuesday.
Officials said the disease outbreak might have been caused by leftovers from catering centres that are fed to pigs.
