Tightening African swine fever prevention in Ho Chi Minh City

Urgently deploy solutions, strengthen coordination - That is the main content of the Conference on prevention and control of African swine fever recently organized by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Ho Chi Minh City.

Tighten African swine fever prevention in Ho Chi Minh City.

To date, the city has detected 14 outbreaks in 10 communes, with nearly 800 pigs forced to be destroyed. In this situation, the city's agricultural sector has implemented many measures to strengthen prevention and control, preventing the spread of the disease. At the conference, large farms also shared their experiences in disease-free livestock farming.

These are valuable experiences in responding to epidemics. The leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City requested the Department of Animal Health and Livestock Husbandry and localities to clearly define the responsibilities of the parties; at the same time, strengthen propaganda and mobilize small-scale livestock households to gradually shift to large-scale, concentrated, so that epidemic prevention work can be more effective. In particular, an interdisciplinary inspection team will also be established to serve the Lunar New Year, ensuring food safety for the city's residents.
