The model was deployed from May 2025, with funding from the National Agricultural Extension Center. To implement the model, the Agricultural Technical Center coordinated with the Commune People's Committee to survey and select 10 households in the villages: Mo, Bung Mo, Chieng Sang and Chieng Kim, with standard barns, suitable area and investment commitment to participate in the implementation. The households were supported 70% to buy 5,150 Lac Thuy chickens; vaccines and biological products. At the same time, they were trained in the breeding process according to VietGAHP standards and were committed to consuming products through a joint contract with Dong Tam Cooperative, Quynh Nhai commune.
Mr. Luong Van Dung, the technical officer in charge of the model, said: After 4 months of raising, the survival rate reached 97.45%; the average weight reached 1.7 kg. Notably, 100% of households use probiotics to treat waste, create organic fertilizer for agricultural production, bringing in a significant additional source of income. It is estimated that with a scale of raising 100 chickens, households earn about 3.8 million VND in profit, 16.9% higher than conventional farming; the number of chickens in the model has increased by 880 compared to the beginning. Thanks to the effectiveness, many households outside the model have invested in breeding stock and materials to expand the scale, contributing to spreading the model locally.
Mr. Hoang Van Tuong's family in Mo village was one of the first households to participate in the model. His chicken coop was located far from the house, airy and had an orchard to raise chickens. Mr. Tuong said: Initially, the family raised 500 chickens, and was supported with 70% of the cost of breeding chickens, feed, vaccines and probiotics for biological bedding. Realizing that the chicken breed was easy to care for and grew quickly, the family proactively bought more chickens to supplement the flock, and expected to sell about 500 chickens by December 2025, weighing 1.6 to 2 kg each.
Mr. Luong Van Chien's family, also in Mo village, was also supported with 500 chickens. He shared: Participating in the project, the family proactively repaired the barn, made cement floors, used biological bedding made of rice husks and probiotics to treat waste and protect the environment. Thanks to technical training, the family proactively monitored each stage of development and recorded chicken care diaries, so the chickens grew well and had few diseases.
Lac Thuy chickens are weather-resistant, easy to raise, and broiler chickens can be raised for 4-5 months per batch. Adult hens weigh about 1.6 kg/chicken; roosters 2 kg/chicken, with small legs, providing fragrant, firm meat that is easy to consume, priced at 100,000 VND/kg. Raising chickens according to VietGAHP standards requires an initial investment capital 4-5 times higher than conventional farming, but in return, productivity and product quality are superior, and output is stable. Thanks to the application of a closed process, chickens are less susceptible to disease, veterinary medicine costs are reduced, and care workers are also less. In the context of increasing demand for clean food, the VietGAHP farming model is considered a sustainable direction, in line with the trend.
Although newly deployed in Yen Chau commune, the model has initially brought about effectiveness. From the model, Lac Thuy chicken breed has been added to the group of key livestock breeds of the locality. People have access to safe livestock farming processes, linked with cooperatives in product consumption, reduced market risks and increased income. The model also contributes to changing traditional livestock farming habits, towards producing goods according to standards, ensuring food safety and protecting the environment.
