Thus, as of June 24, Yen Thanh district is the locality with the highest number of communes testing positive for African swine fever in the province, with 25 communes, in just over 1 month.
Quynh Luu and Ky Son districts each have 15 communes with African swine fever. Vinh City has 3 outbreaks in 3 localities: Vinh Tan Ward, Nghi Lien Commune and Nghi Phu Commune.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Hieu - Head of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station of Ky Son district said that the most difficult thing for the locality with African swine fever is the households raising pigs, whose pigs are ready to be sold but cannot be sold or slaughtered, so they have to invest in feed for a long time, affecting the economy. If a new outbreak continues to occur in that locality, the people will have more difficulties. |
