Since late April, several communes in Huu Lung, Loc Binh, and Van Lang districts in Lang Son province have recorded outbreaks of African swine fever. This is a worrying situation, as in previous years, this disease often tends to break out strongly and spread widely at the end of May, according to Lang Son Newspaper.

According to a representative of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Veterinary Medicine, Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lang Son province, every May, there is often hot weather mixed with heavy rain, creating favorable conditions for the African swine fever virus to develop and spread in pig herds.

At the same time, this is also the time when farmers restore and increase their herds, however, the process of purchasing piglets is not strictly controlled, potentially causing the risk of spreading disease if pigs carrying pathogens are purchased.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lang Son province has directed departments to prepare sufficient chemical sources to provide to districts and cities, supporting livestock farmers in disinfecting barns.

At the same time, the Department also sent staff to coordinate with specialized departments and agricultural service centers in districts and cities to inspect and guide livestock farming households to comply with biosafety procedures, minimizing the risk of disease transmission to pigs.

In addition, authorities continue to promote and encourage farmers to proactively vaccinate their pigs against African swine fever, as well as vaccinate breeding pigs as soon as they are imported.
