According to the report of Tra Giang Commune People's Committee, African Swine Fever first appeared in An Hoa Nam village and quickly spread. Up to now, the whole commune has recorded 242 outbreaks of African Swine Fever in 18/18 villages, causing 1,080 pigs to be sick, with a total weight of 65,607 kg. All sick pigs have been destroyed according to regulations to prevent the spread of the disease.
Faced with the complicated epidemic situation, the People's Committee of Tra Giang commune has established a Steering Committee for animal disease prevention and control, issued many directive documents, prioritized funding for providing medicine, vaccines and distributed 127 liters of chemicals to disinfect the livestock environment.
At the meeting, the Commune People's Committee proposed that the Provincial Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine support 2,190 doses of African Swine Fever vaccine and 2,650 doses of FMD vaccine. At the same time, it proposed to soon have a policy to support people affected by the epidemic; organize training and deploy biosafety livestock models for local people.
Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Quang Trung praised the proactive and determined spirit in disease prevention and control of Tra Giang commune. The Deputy Director of the Department requested Tra Giang commune to mobilize the entire political system and livestock farmers to take drastic and synchronous measures to prevent and control animal diseases to quickly control the disease and minimize damage to people.
The Deputy Director of the Department forecasts that the disease situation in livestock herds will continue to be complicated, especially African Swine Fever. Therefore, the Commune People's Committee needs to mobilize the entire political system and livestock farmers to take part, drastically and synchronously deploy disease prevention and control measures; strengthen monitoring, early detection and thorough handling of new outbreaks; when an outbreak is detected, it is necessary to isolate and immediately organize destruction; the functional forces must increase patrols, control and strictly handle violations in destroying diseased pigs.
At the same time, the commune needs to assign officials in charge of each village to support people in a timely manner; step up propaganda to raise public awareness of the risks and measures to prevent and control the epidemic. Any developments of the epidemic need to be promptly reported to the provincial Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine for appropriate handling.
On the same day, the working delegation inspected the situation of disease prevention, control and destruction of pigs infected with African swine fever in some villages of Tra Giang commune.
