Mr. Tho Ba Re - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Son district said that by the end of January 26, localities in the district had made a quick report on the damage caused by the cold spell that lasted from January 22 to now. Accordingly, the whole district had 28 buffaloes and cows that died from the cold. Specifically: Bao Nam commune had 4, Muong Long 3, Na Loi 1, Dooc May 2, Huoi Tu 2, Tay Son 2; Nam Can 2; Nam Can 1; Pha Danh 2; Muong Ai 7 and Na Ngoi 2.
"Currently, the district has increased the direction of district-level hunger and cold prevention working groups to directly go to communes predicted to be the epicenter of the cold to inspect and propagate, helping people protect their livestock from the cold," said Mr. Tho Ba Re.
In Que Phong district, information from the district's Agricultural Service Center said that up to now, 11 buffaloes and cows in Tri Le commune have frozen to death.
Mr. Vi Van Cuong - Chairman of Tri Le Commune People's Committee said: By the end of January 26, in the commune, there were 9 households in 7 villages with buffaloes and cows frozen to death, with a total of 11 animals (1 cow, 1 buffalo, 6 calves, 3 calves).
According to Mr. Cuong, right before the cold spell, the commune had promoted and mobilized people to implement solutions to prevent cold for livestock. Therefore, most households had brought their cattle and buffaloes to their barns and lit fires to keep them warm. However, the situation of cattle and buffaloes freezing to death still occurred because some were weak and did not have the resistance to withstand the cold rain.
Currently, the weather continues to be cold and severely cold for a long time, so authorities at all levels, especially in mountainous areas, need to proactively guide people on solutions to prevent and combat the cold for livestock, limiting economic damage.
