Many ways to prevent and control African swine fever

Mr. Huynh Ngoc Diep, Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Binh Dinh, shared that the functional sector of Binh Dinh is carrying heavy worries that while farmers are strongly restocking their herds, there is a risk that breeding pigs will be imported en masse from other provinces, not to mention that imported pork according to market demand will bring in pathogens, so the locality is strengthening control work, according to the Agriculture newspaper.

Currently, all pigs imported from outside into Binh Dinh must be declared through Cu Mong Animal Quarantine Station (Ghenh Rang Ward, Quy Nhon City). Upon receiving information, Cu Mong Animal Quarantine Station will immediately notify the Agricultural Service Center where the pigs were imported and at what time for coordination and monitoring.

In addition, Binh Dinh authorities continue to strengthen disease surveillance and warning, and at the same time, implement vaccination against dangerous animal diseases such as avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease in cattle and buffalo, and vaccines for pigs, encouraging farmers to self-vaccinate in the form of socialization.

“To prevent African swine fever , we have stepped up management and supervision of livestock farming in the area. We have strengthened inspection and strictly handled violations in livestock farming, purchasing, processing and consuming animal products, especially for smuggled pigs and pigs of unknown origin that have mixed into the area and spread the disease,” said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Vuong, Director of the Agricultural Service Center of Hoai An district, the locality with the largest pig herd in Binh Dinh.
