* Mr. Nguyen Van Long, Director of the Department of Animal Health (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), stated that animal diseases worldwide are very complex. Specifically, African swine fever is still widespread, avian influenza has occurred in 71 countries and territories with over 6,300 outbreaks, posing a very high risk of infection, and foot-and-mouth disease has broken out for the first time in the island nation of Indonesia, causing heavy losses…

In Vietnam, according to data from the Department of Animal Health, from the beginning of 2023 to the present, 481 outbreaks of African swine fever have occurred in 42 provinces and cities, resulting in the forced culling of over 18,000 pigs.

Foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks of type O occurred nationwide in 22 cases across 15 districts and towns in 11 provinces and cities, affecting 760 livestock, with 26 animals culled. Lumpy skin disease outbreaks occurred in 100 cases across 15 provinces and cities, affecting 468 livestock, with 95 buffaloes and cattle culled. Swine fever outbreaks occurred in 5 cases, resulting in 542 pigs dying or being culled.

According to the Department of Animal Health, the risk of recurrence and spread of livestock and poultry diseases in the coming period remains high. This includes the risk of African swine fever recurring and spreading widely, as the virus can survive for a long time in the environment and its transmission routes are very complex.
