Previously, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Quang Ninh province issued a document guiding and urging localities to proactively vaccinate and prevent hunger and cold for livestock to minimize damage in livestock production in the winter-spring crop of 2025 - 2026.

The Department requested to speed up the vaccination progress of the second phase in 2025 with all types of vaccines to prevent diseases: Avian influenza, foot and mouth disease, anthrax, lumpy skin disease in cattle, African swine fever to increase resistance for livestock.

Perform well the work of cleaning and disinfecting barns; regularly monitor the health status of livestock every day to have effective measures to handle when livestock show unusual signs due to hunger, cold or disease. When detecting diseases in livestock, immediately report to veterinary agencies and local authorities for timely handling measures.

Ms. Chu Thi Thu Thuy, Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine (Department of Agriculture and Environment of Quang Ninh) said: In increasingly unusual weather conditions, if the vaccination rate on livestock herds is not continuously guaranteed and above 70%, it will not create natural herd immunity.

When herd immunity is weakened, the disease is at risk of breaking out on a large scale with many different variants. Therefore, localities must seriously carry out the work of checking the total herd and speed up the vaccination progress of livestock and poultry.
