It must be affirmed that the current difficulties and challenges for livestock and poultry production are not only in Thai Nguyen province but also in the region. general situation of the country. LikeWith the available potentials and advantages, along with the proposed livestock development orientation, livestock production activities in the province must necessarily change to adapt, develop strongly and sustainably. more.

Planning of concentrated breeding areas, biosecurity
In order for the livestock industry to develop commensurate with its potential and available advantages, the province has paid attention to planning concentrated husbandry areas and large-scale farms to improve efficiency, and gradually reduce small-scale livestock production.
Mr. Vu Duc Hao, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said: The province's livestock development orientation to 2025, vision to 2030 is to identify concentrated livestock areas and farms according to the development planning. livestock production of districts and cities; strictly comply with regulations on areas where animal husbandry is not allowed; move livestock production facilities away from urban areas, residential areas, away from planned areas of concentrated tea production with brand names of the province... At the same time, focus on developing livestock production in localities with large land funds to ensure density according to regulations, such as: Dai Tu, Dinh Hoa, Phu Luong, Phu Binh ...
For example, in Dai Tu district, according to the planning approved by competent authorities, the district has 57 concentrated breeding sites, with more than 520 hectares in 28/29 communes and towns. In which, a number of localities have favorable land conditions, suitable for large-scale concentrated husbandry with large area planning, such as: Quan Chu town 52ha; Tien Hoi 54ha; La Bang 50ha…
Each locality can be planned many different concentrated breeding points. The planned points all meet the standard of being far from residential areas, convenient for traffic.
Up to this point, in the concentrated breeding area in Khe Cua 2 hamlet, Quan Chu town, two organizations and individuals have invested in pig farms with a scale of more than 2 pigs.
In Dinh Hoa district, the locality is also actively attracting investment in two concentrated livestock planning zones in Phu Tien commune (2ha) and Binh Thanh commune (150ha).
Mr. Ma Tien Kop, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Phu Luong district, said: Currently, 13 communes in the district have planned concentrated breeding areas, with an average size of 10-20ha/local . The planning and formation of a concentrated livestock production area is a premise to attract businesses to invest, improve production values in livestock, and at the same time contribute to helping livestock production facilities to prevent and fight diseases more effectively. .

The inevitable livestock trend
In recent years, biosafety farming has become a trend, encouraged by the Party committees, local authorities as well as professional agencies, and people responded by its sustainability, efficiency, and safety. .
With the guidance and support of the district's specialized agencies on techniques and breeding animals, since 3 years ago, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy's family, in Tien Bo hamlet, Hop Thanh commune (Phu Luong), has been raising chickens according to the regulations. organic direction.
Ms. Thuy shared: We use probiotics; calcium worms combine rice, corn, bananas... as animal feed. I went to the forest to pick leaves such as figs, giant tea, complete pearls, etc. to prevent and treat some diseases for chickens. While other households have difficulty raising with industrial bran, my family is not affected much, because raising chickens in this direction not only reduces the cost of feed (about 70% less than raising chickens with bran) but also lowers the cost of feed. chickens have good resistance, healthy development; Chicken is fragrant, delicious, and trusted by consumers. On average, a chicken from raising to slaughter (7 months) has a weight of 2-2,7kg, the selling price is always higher than other chicken farms in the region, reaching from 110-130 thousand VND/kg.

| Mr. Pham Quang Phuc, Chairman of the Provincial Association of Animal Husbandry - Veterinary Medicine: Instead of producing and managing on their own, livestock households need to cooperate with enterprises to promote large-scale production and processing. In addition, the safe breeding method will open up opportunities to supply products to supermarkets and businesses, helping to increase the value of livestock. |
In some other breeding establishments, people have boldly applied scientific and technical advances to the production and use of foreign breeds with high productivity and quality. As a result, the productivity and quality of livestock herds are significantly improved, bringing high economic efficiency.
According to statistics, currently the percentage of foreign pigs in the province reaches 75% of the total herd; herd of Zebu hybrid cows and high-quality cow breeds reaching 65% or more; flock of colored chickens accounted for 85% of the total flock.
In fact, livestock establishments that apply science and technology firmly, have a connection that always "live well" and face less risks than livestock in the form of smallholders and households.
Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung in Trung Thanh hamlet, Hoa Binh commune (Dong Hy), information: With 2.000m2 of barn, I am associated with Hong Ha Co., Ltd. (Ha Nam), raising 18.000 chickens/broiler. During the rearing process, the company regularly sent veterinary staff to check and guide me on how to feed the chickens, vaccinate and implement measures to clean the cages according to the correct procedures. Due to technical support, my chickens grow healthy, no disease occurs. When the chickens are old enough to be released from the barn, the company covers all of them, so I don't have to worry about output or market prices...
Build a solid brand
In addition to the support of the central government and the province through programs and projects, over time, districts and cities in the province have also made great efforts in building brands and spreading blanket models. effective farming. At the same time, support and create conditions for livestock activities in the area.
For example, in Phu Luong district, from 2018 to now, the locality has spent 2,2 billion VND to support the prevention and control of epidemics in livestock, support the BBB cow breeding model, support the development develop farms, livestock cooperatives…
Dai Tu district also supports interest rates on loans for farms, funding for VietGAP certification, biological padding, etc. for livestock households.
In Vo Nhai, from 2021, the district has implemented a project to build biosafe organic chicken and pig breeding models associated with concentrated slaughtering points for the period 2021-2025, with an orientation to 2030. With a total investment of over VND 980 million… Joining the project, households will receive technical support, 70% of the cost of seeds and food...

| Mr. Vu Duc Hao, Deputy Director of Department of Agriculture and Rural Development: In the coming time, the Department will continue to advise the Provincial People's Committee on the orientation of gradually reducing household-scale livestock production, developing livestock production in the direction of centralized farms, biosecurity, disease safety, associated with environmental protection. and land use plan in each locality; continue to attract businesses to invest in large-scale livestock development, along the value chain. |
The construction and implementation of livestock product development projects in Phu Binh district such as: Phu Binh hill chicken development project; The project to build a disease-free breeding area... also initially showed a positive effect when the hill chicken brand became more and more known, the livestock grew up healthy, maintaining the local position with a total number of people. Livestock herd ranks first in the province (nearly 4,7 million heads).
Ms. Tran Thi Tuyen, Director of Phu Binh District Agricultural Service Center, said: From 2021 to now, the district has allocated nearly 9 billion VND to implement programs to support livestock and vaccinate animals. feed. We regularly coordinate to propagate for livestock households to well implement vaccination for livestock according to the procedure; instruct farmers on how to disinfect and disinfect barns and implement synchronous technical measures in livestock production to prevent and limit the spread of diseases.
In some localities, livestock households have linked into cooperative groups and cooperatives specializing in livestock production and trading products from livestock, such as Dai Vuong Organic Agriculture Cooperative (Dinh Hoa), Green Cooperative (Ho Chi Minh City). Song Cong), Tan Tien Hill Chicken Cooperative (Phu Binh)… with many efforts to build a brand, meeting strict standards of quality and food safety conditions.
| According to the province's key agricultural development project for the period 2021-2025, with a vision to 2030, the number of pig and chicken farms will increase by an average of 5% per year. By 2025, the production of meat (swine and chicken) from farms will account for 40-45% of total production; by 2030 account for 50-55% of total production. |
According to economic experts, the province's livestock industry still has a lot of room for development and needs more "supporting platforms" for more sustainable growth. In the immediate future, with the situation of "anchored" industrial feed prices, professional agencies recommend that farmers use natural feed sources to reduce production costs. The number one priority is biosecurity farming. In addition, breeders need to focus on linking to form cooperative groups and cooperatives; associate with enterprises from production to product consumption; forming deeply processed products, ensuring food safety… Only in this way can the livestock industry make a breakthrough and develop commensurate with its potential.
