On the afternoon of March 19, in Ho Chi Minh City, the forum “Innovation of the Chinese-Vietnamese Pig Farming Industry” took place with the participation of leading experts from the two countries. The event focused on discussing the application of AI in pig farming, aiming at the goal of sustainable development for the livestock industry in both Vietnam and China.
Vietnam and China are both located in the central region of Asia - Pacific, with strong economic growth and increasing demand for food, especially livestock products. Both countries have the largest livestock herds in the region and the world.
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Duong, Chairman of the Vietnam Livestock Association, shared: “The forum is not only an opportunity to exchange knowledge but also a platform for cooperation and sustainable development of the pig farming industry in the region. Technology and AI will create new opportunities, helping to improve productivity, quality and minimize disease risks."
Experts also presented solutions for applying digital technology in the livestock industry, including using AI to monitor the health of pigs, analyzing Big Data to optimize the livestock process and control diseases more effectively. One of the highlights is the application of AI in predicting the health status of pigs, thereby helping pig farmers to have timely interventions, minimizing damage caused by diseases such as African swine fever (ASF).
The program also discussed the state of the livestock industry and advances in technology in China. China currently has the world's largest pig herd with 640 million heads, while Vietnam ranks sixth globally with about 50 million heads. Vietnam is also the world's second largest poultry herd, after China.
Associate Professor, Dr. Le Van Phan, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, emphasized the importance of technology in controlling diseases, especially African swine fever. Mr. Phan said that rapid testing technology, smart monitoring and new prevention methods have helped reduce the spread of diseases, while creating a safer farming environment.
The forum is an opportunity for scientists, experts and partners from China and Vietnam to share experiences in breed management, nutrition, disease prevention and technology application in the livestock industry. These solutions will help improve productivity, product quality and sustainable development of the pig farming industry of the two countries in the future.
