Mr. Nguyen Nhu So, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dabaco Vietnam Group, shared that the African swine fever vaccine Dacovac - ASF2 was developed from the attenuated virus strain ASFV-G-ΔI177L/ΔLVR and the PIPEC cell line transferred by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The Dacovac - ASF2 vaccine product is the result of a long process of careful, scientific research and testing, under the strict supervision of specialized veterinary management agencies, affirming its safety, effectiveness and efficiency.

The vaccine was officially licensed for commercial circulation on February 28, 2025, becoming a "biological shield" for the pig farming industry in Vietnam after heavy losses caused by African swine fever since 2019.

With the 3F+ strategy (Feed, Farm, Food & Future), Dabaco not only solves immediate challenges but also aims at a sustainable agricultural value chain. Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Nhu So once again affirmed that the Dacovet Vaccine Factory and Dacovac - ASF2 vaccine are the first steps for Dabaco to conquer the Asian market, gradually bringing Vietnam to the global biotechnology map.
