Tay Ninh: 92 livestock farms receive disease-free certification.

The livestock industry in Tay Ninh has made significant progress in disease prevention and control, with 92 establishments now receiving disease-free certification. This achievement not only contributes to increasing the value of livestock products and protecting public health but also expands opportunities for consumption in domestic and international markets.

Livestock farmers regularly clean their barns to prevent disease outbreaks among their animals.

According to information from the Sub-Department of Agriculture (Tay Ninh Department of Agriculture and Environment), the assessment and re-assessment of disease-free facilities are carried out regularly, according to plan, and closely aligned with the actual needs of livestock farmers.

This ensures that farms maintain good hygiene and biosecurity conditions, meeting the prescribed standards for disease prevention and control.

Currently, the entire province has 92 establishments that have been granted disease-free certificates. Of these, 73 poultry farms have achieved disease-free certification, including 44 chicken farms certified for H5N1 avian influenza and Newcastle disease; and 24 chicken farms and 5 duck farms certified for H5N1 avian influenza.

These are all dangerous diseases that can spread rapidly and cause significant damage to production if not strictly controlled.

Regarding pig farming, Tay Ninh has 18 farms that have been granted disease-free certificates, including 14 farms meeting safety standards for foot-and-mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever; 3 farms certified for these diseases plus porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS); and 1 farm certified only for African swine fever.

At the same time, the province has one cattle farm that has been certified as disease-free for foot-and-mouth disease, infectious abortion, and tuberculosis – diseases that negatively impact livestock health and productivity.

According to relevant authorities, developing a network of disease-free zones helps control outbreaks more effectively, improving the quality and value of livestock products.

This also creates favorable conditions for Tay Ninh's livestock products to meet export standards, expand their consumer market, and contribute to ensuring food safety and protecting public health.
