A view of the workshop

    According to the center, in recent years, domestic animal diseases tend to be more common, especially avian flu, foot and mouth disease, blue-eared pig epidemic, etc. The reason is that today’s cattle-breeding in our country is still quite small-scaled, therefore; it is very difficult to control the disease when it occurs. On the other hand, farmers may not be more concerned with precautionary measures; vaccination in many areas is just formal while local veterinarian force is fairly weak.

    In order to increase the competitiveness of livestock products, orient  towards the clean livestock breeding, participants suggested that in future State should have strategic planning of livestock concentrated areas with support and encouragement policies to attract farmers to the areas along with strengthening and supporting of vaccination, epidemic control and prevention by providing more funds, investing in infrastructure and human resources, creating a state of combat readiness against the epidemic.
