Ha Tinh: Where disease "to appointment onto"

The time in 2010, Ha Tinh province has a total 99,594 children Buffalo; 210,000 cows; 420,000 pigs; 5.5 million birds; growth raising average 31% per year; proportion of animal farming accounts for 40% of the total value of agricultural products. Although production increased, raising high efficiency, but the cattle disease has always been stalking birds in the province.

The outbreak awe

Ha Tinh Province is central conductor song, a national highway 1A, Road 12 and north-south railway pass through the gate from the international down to Laos. In addition, visitors and goods from the international border gate Cha-lo (Quang Binh) heads north-east of Ha Tinh also through Vung Ang port. Thus, the transport of livestock poultry from North to Men and back down from Laos to the relatively large number and often. Inspection, disease control on this route is not really so radically in recent years many animal disease outbreak of AI outbreaks in many localities in the province.

Typically as in 1989, outbreaks occurred in LMLM cattle Ky Anh district, where the adjacent province of Quang Binh, made a lot of cattle infected. At that time, do prevention services weak outbreak should not be handled at end, simply lead to long-term negative pathogens, making the U.S. the UK for many years then continued to be disease LMLM. Addition, in many places such as Cam Xuyen, Thach Ha, Huong Khe, Vu Quang ... also have translated LMLM scattered. Worse, in 2008, have the program to support poor households in the district of Vu Quang, not the cows themselves much of this program "stick" patients but "procession" disease to dozens of cattle in the district was and spread. The cause of the first translation is by buying cattle from the region of the external service LMLM to inspect disease lacks tight, not subject to quarantine regulations for some time before entering forums ... Most recently, in late 2009, translated from the same blood and LMLM occurred in Thach Ha district also over 100 children infected cattle.

March 2007, avian influenza occurred in three communes of Loc Ha District, making 22,599 birds were infected. The cause of this outbreak by the provincial foreign households purchased eggs are incubated and brought the disease on ... Not only in the Ha Tinh Ha Loc, Thach Ha district, and some other localities have also been translated many times influenza poultry. Avian influenza occurs many years in Ha Tinh has tens of thousands of infected poultry, must be destroyed, causing damage to several billion farmers.

Besides translated from the same blood, LMLM cattle and avian influenza, more dangerous, in Ha Tinh, in March 2008 in the blue ear pig disease occurred in Cam Binh, Cam Xuyen as tens of thousands of pigs town was infected, to destroy. At the center of this progress, although progress had now spread to every day but the prevention and combat, put out public service primarily to business sneaky pigs still carry pigs from the night service to be consumed only after a time short service has spread to dozens of communes in Cam Xuyen, Ky Anh district, and many others, bringing the total number of communes have green ear of 77 communes in 5 districts, towns and cities. Total infected pigs to destroy up to 31,880 children, tens of billion damage. Translation blue ear pig stop in 2009, then turned cholera occurred in Duc Tho, Cam Xuyen to over 500 pigs infected; late 2009 avian influenza continue to occur in Left Thach district, Ha ... More outbreaks in poultry animals above did heavy damage to hundreds of households in Ha Tinh. Many household things stand, because the bankruptcy epidemic.

Cause

Deputy Director, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ha Tinh Nguyen Van Vietnam said: "Ha Tinh province has more traffic north-south line running through Laos, and from the cause and spread disease. In addition, service LMLM occur in livestock mainly occur in mountainous areas where the climate plus the drop-empty cattle; even households not control his popular herd; the sense of people also poor, so, the inoculation rate reaching these areas is very low, resulting in or translated and when disease occurs, the spread is inevitable. "

One other reason is the transportation, trading, poultry slaughter cattle in the area frequently occur but disease control of some body functions missing so tightly to spread germs. In addition, the system of veterinary facilities and shortage of essential; form of transition from small livestock breeding to focus towards production of investment goods and non-synchronous (overlooked hygiene cages, rooms against disease); wet weather last winter, rainfall; the inoculation is not thoroughly ... the cause of disease in livestock and poultry in Ha Tinh Province in recent years.

Reply Link

Recent years, the Provincial Party Committee, People's Councils and People's Committee of Ha Tinh province was very interested in breeding and thematic resolutions on livestock development, especially livestock production towards goods. Thus, raising the room trrao Ha Tinh recent years also have strong growth. The disease often occurs in livestock poultry, causing heavy losses to farmers as the last time is that of Ha Tinh province and functional departments should draw serious lessons to find a solution most effective measures against the service.

Natural conditions of Ha Tinh is quite favorable for livestock development, plus the interest of the movement believe that the livestock in the province will thrive. However, as long as the disease still occurs as long as that animal husbandry in the province will face numerous difficulties.
