Disease prevention and control in livestock

Thai Nguyen Newspaper reported that at the conference to summarize the implementation of the program to prevent avian influenza and other epidemics in the period of 2019-2025, Dong Hy district currently has about 6,400 buffaloes and cows, 5,200 pigs and 1.8 million poultry.

Currently, about 90% of livestock households here are small-scale farmers, accounting for 30% of the total livestock and poultry herd. The small-scale livestock model and the interspersed residential areas increase the risk of disease outbreaks, making management and control difficult.

Thanks to good disease prevention work, the number of cases of foot-and-mouth disease and dangerous infectious diseases in livestock in Dong Hy has decreased by 10-20% compared to the period 2016-2020.

At the Conference, representatives of communes and towns agreed on the common goal for the 2026-2030 period: striving to vaccinate at least 80% of the total herd, closely monitoring the disease situation, early detection and timely handling, and preventing the spread of disease.
