However, compared to last year, the herd has decreased by more than 9,000 pigs, equivalent to 3.3%, mainly due to the impact of African swine fever.

From the beginning of the year to December, African swine fever appeared in more than 4,500 households in 790 villages, 162 communes and 11 districts of Lang Son, causing more than 16,600 pigs to be destroyed, with a total weight of nearly 725,000 kg.

Although the disease has decreased in the last months of the year, there is still a risk of it arising and spreading widely due to small-scale farming and a lack of effective sanitation and disinfection measures.
