According to United Daily News and others, after dioxin was confirmed in the farm's goats, authorities decided on a full cull as a precaution. The trigger was dioxin exceeding limits in the forage used as feed.

Dioxin is a harmful substance generated by incineration and industrial processes that persists in the environment and can accumulate through the food chain. Authorities are tracing the feed's contamination source and distribution route.

Authorities are checking whether any related livestock products reached the market, while halting use and recalling the feed identified as the source—steps to head off food-safety concerns.

The case again highlighted the importance of feed management and environmental-contamination monitoring, with observers noting that contamination control at the feed stage is the starting point for livestock safety.
