Currently, the whole Bac Giang province has a total herd of about 900 thousand pigs, 20.5 million poultry, and 129 thousand buffalo and cows. According to Mr. Hoang Van Du, Deputy Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), the changing of seasons and high humidity are favorable conditions for pathogens to develop, affecting the resistance of livestock. At the same time, many livestock have expired their immunity after vaccination or have not been vaccinated, so the risk of spreading and infecting pathogens is high, especially avian influenza, African swine fever, lumpy skin disease in cattle and buffalo, rabies in dogs and cats, etc.

With the motto of prevention is better than cure, good implementation of hygiene and disinfection is an important initial solution in disease prevention and control, protecting the safety of livestock and the health of the whole community. Therefore, veterinary hygiene work needs to be strengthened and carried out regularly, periodically, closely linked to the production activities of livestock farmers.

Measures must ensure safety for people and animals, and be implemented simultaneously in livestock households and localities. In particular, for households with previously infected livestock, it is necessary to renovate barns, collect waste, and thoroughly treat it by burning, burying, and using chemicals and lime powder to disinfect and sterilize.
