Duck model biosafety is hereby open for duck farming in the Mekong Delta.
KTNT - Model Rice - duck which had long existed in the area of Mekong Delta (MD). Before bird flu appears, this model is the optimal choice for many farmers. However, in the context of disease more complicated, the duck farming is no longer suitable, finding new farming methods to limit the disease recently, has good potential for exploitation is a problem that functional concerns.
Difficult to manage
With the seasonal calendar of rice production alternating between the local duck should run the same in the MD occurs almost all year round and increase the rice harvest. Through the years, the total flock of Mekong Delta region ranges between 18-20 million. We run the same way duck is still pretty popular. Survey Results 300 duck farmers in some provinces in the region found that 71% of households had to duck out of the village and blows most farmers take advantage of dropping after harvest of rice for ducks.
Giang is one of the local flock runs most of the Mekong Delta region. The total flock in the province from 2001 to 2009 tends to increase rapidly, from 1.7 million to 4.8 million, of which the duck is still running the popular method, the number of children up to 73 , 16% of the total poultry population of the province. Although the agricultural sector has managed to pull level in the province flock, all households must be declared when the window with the CPC as well as when to move away but now functional here acknowledges, hard to manage duck dong.
With over 1.7 million children and Vinh Long provinces also have relatively large flock. Poultry breeding is to develop good signal but the provincial agricultural sector has faced difficulties in poultry management by small farmers not comply with the technical process raising disease free, non-declaration number, also ignored the work of vaccination for livestock diseases. Even the Department of Animal Health also manages seasonal herd ducks, duck dong.
After the avian influenza outbreak in the Mekong Delta that the main culprit has been identified as duck dong, functional immediately seek solutions flock management, management methods in books are made. Accordingly, duck farmers must register with the CPC. After registration, the animal was free of CPC registers duck breeding form of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Farmers have to declare all the information in the register of raising duck raising each litter. Each flock was moved to a new district, farmers must produce a register of breeding ducks and runs for the first place to the CPC for certification, testing and implementation of disease vaccination.
In principle this is in fact the management of the flock ran as hard as "two stars in the sky." This was not the negative also arise in the course of farms run key please "visa" for the duck.
According to Bui Ngoc Thao Phan, Institute of Agricultural Science & Technology South, studies in Thailand show that the dispersion of avian influenza H5N1 virus to chickens and livestock related to the distribution of the duck. There are a total of 61 to 28 run the same flock in Thailand tested positive for the virus while in captivity with the method of Ho is now 4 out of 17 cases and did not find any type of farming in cages closed. So, if not earlier MD residents to improve the way raising the risk of disease outbreak on a large scale is unavoidable.
Raising ducks biosafety, the open
At the conference on Sustainable Development of traditional duck farming in the Mekong Delta in Vinh Long was held recently, many thought that, duck under the direction of biosecurity is the cure-all for duck farming in the "land nine dragons" in times of epidemics raging. According TS.Nguyen Van North, Center for Agriculture - Extension countries in the Mekong Delta region, mode duck - fish - rice combine measures to restrict the breeding of ducks and runs, contributing to effective disease management better while economic efficiency is higher than 3-5 times higher than rice monoculture. Mrs. Thao also said that, when applied farming methods and industry can sell tight control on biological safety and could completely cut off the source of bird flu infection. Pilot Biosafety duck in An Giang see ducks than 15% weight gain, reduced feed 7 days, 22% mortality reduction, reduction of labor by 25% compared with the same duck.
From the actual development in the locality, PhD. Nguyen Xuan Khoa, director of the Center for Agriculture - Extension Lieu said, raising the biosafety process makes investment in infrastructure, transfer of technology easier. And though her children have chosen any method adopted must also abide by the following conditions: Choose the same patient clean, as animals are born from poultry and their parents are not contagious once infected, are closely managed, periodically test serum is negative for bird flu virus, raising to remote area housing and residential areas, limiting contact between poultry with wild birds ; should limit that small poultry raising in the direction of camp or ranch; fully vaccinated according to the disease process of veterinary guidance; cleaning and disinfectant spray pens, tools livestock periodically, at least once a week, ...
Still know a way to change long-standing animal life is hard but still have some difficulty doing duck farming to ensure sustainable development in the Mekong Delta. And livestock biosecurity direction is a direction to open that farmers should be applied to avoid unnecessary risks.
