Biosafety farming contributes to limiting epidemics
With the closed system farming method and application of scientific and technical advances, biosafety farming is determined to be an effective solution to preserve livestock herds and increase economic value. health for farms, especially in the context of African swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, bird flu... continuously occurring without a specific vaccine to prevent the disease.

As one of the localities with a large livestock and poultry herd in the province with more than 3.4 million cattle and poultry, about 3 million poultry are concentrated mainly on large farms in Cao Xa commune. Ms. Trinh Thi Loan, Deputy Head of the Husbandry and Veterinary Station of Lam Thao district, said that in recent years, Lam Thao district has actively propagated and encouraged people to develop production towards biosafety and apply Technical advances, nutritional food supplements, periodic vaccinations... to improve output and quality of livestock products, contributing to limiting risks when epidemics occur and providing a safe food source for farmers. consumers.
Through practice from biosafety livestock models, it has been shown that this method not only helps control most diseases, saves livestock costs, and protects the environment, but also helps improve animal resistance. farming, thereby effectively preventing infectious diseases, especially African swine fever. Since then, many farms and livestock households in the district have gradually changed their manual farming practices, gradually applying science and technology to production.
Cao Tien Cong's egg-laying chicken farm with over 12,000 Egyptian chickens in Cao Xa commune is also applying semi-automatic egg-laying chicken farming. According to Anh, raising livestock using this method brings many benefits such as: airy barns, no odor, no cleaning effort, chicken manure is automatically collected and directly transported to the composting area by vehicle. Bio-product tape to sell to households is very good for use as fertilizer for plants. On average, every day, the chicken farm collects about 12 thousand eggs with a selling price of about 2,500 VND/egg, with a monthly revenue of over 1 billion VND. With outstanding advantages, reducing labor, reducing electricity and water costs, convenient care, and high economic efficiency, in the coming time, Anh Cong will continue to invest in opening a barn system. increasing the scale to 15,000 egg-laying chickens.
The application of semi-automatic egg-laying chicken farming is still difficult because the initial cost of building a cage is quite large, the breeding process requires strict compliance, and farmers have limited scientific knowledge. technique. On the other hand, due to the complicated developments of the epidemic and unstable market prices, farmers are reluctant to invest and re-herd; There are still many small livestock households in residential areas, causing environmental pollution and difficulties in disease management and prevention...
With the goal of developing livestock production to meet market needs for food hygiene and safety associated with environmental protection, in the coming time, Lam Thao district will continue to direct the grassroots veterinary network to strictly manage separate livestock herds for each household; Organize training to improve knowledge and encourage people to raise livestock in the direction of biosecurity. At the same time, guide people to actively prevent epidemics, make commitments with farming and slaughterhouse households to vaccinate on schedule; Do not trade sick and dead livestock and poultry to prevent the risk of spreading the disease to a large area... thereby, minimizing the disease and reducing risks for farmers.
