With good control of African swine fever, Hai Duong livestock industry has grown quite well.

On the morning of January 15, at the conference to deploy the livestock and aquaculture production plan and animal disease prevention in 2025, the leader of the Hai Duong Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department said that by the end of 2024, 7 out of 12 districts, towns and cities in the province had deployed over 22,000 doses of African swine fever vaccine for pigs.

Kim Thanh district leads the province in having injected 5,470 doses of swine fever vaccine into pigs, followed by Binh Giang district with 5,000 doses, Hai Duong city with 3,920 doses, Thanh Ha district with 3,010 doses...

Last year, African swine fever broke out and developed complicatedly in 279 districts in 48 provinces and cities nationwide, causing 89,041 infected pigs to be destroyed.

In addition to African swine fever, many other livestock diseases have also caused great damage in many provinces and cities such as bird flu, foot-and-mouth disease...

In Hai Duong, disease prevention in livestock is considered important with many solutions, so the above diseases are well controlled. The rate of livestock vaccinated against diseases in both spring and autumn crops is 85% or more, contributing to the safety of livestock.

In 2024, despite the impact of storm Yagi, the number of livestock and poultry in Hai Duong (buffalo, cow, pig, chicken, duck...) will still grow from 0.8-5.8% compared to 2023, meat output will grow from 1.1-7.4%.

However, there is still a risk of outbreaks of diseases in livestock. African swine fever is still circulating in 14 provinces and cities. Meanwhile, in Hai Duong, there are still 5 districts and cities that have not vaccinated pigs against this disease.
