According to experts, the price of live pigs in the coming days may continue to decrease due to abundant supply while market demand does not have sudden growth.
The current price of 71,000 - 79,000 VND/kg nationwide still ensures profits for farmers compared to the same period in 2024. However, the current price reduction pressure has not seriously affected the livestock industry, but farmers need to closely monitor the market to have appropriate business plans.
According to information from the Nghe An Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, African swine fever is currently occurring in four localities including Tan Ky, Con Cuong, Que Phong and Hoang Mai Town. Each location has recorded 1-2 outbreaks, mainly occurring in small-scale livestock farms, according to Nghe An Newspaper.
Mr. Tran Vo Ba, Deputy Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Nghe An province, recommended: “To ensure disease safety, people need to choose breeds with clear origins and check the health of livestock before buying. During the breeding process, it is necessary to fully vaccinate, limit the use of pond water and feed of unknown origin. In addition, it is necessary to regularly spray disinfectants to treat the environment inside and outside the barn, and at the same time limit the contact of traders with the breeding area.”
In case of an outbreak, people need to promptly notify local authorities to implement timely control measures. At the same time, authorities will step up propaganda to limit the situation of selling off pigs or concealing the disease, helping to control the outbreak to the smallest extent.
