Vietnam's
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will launch a month-long campaign
tomorrow to disinfect locations across the country as a move to prevent the
spreading of bird flu, which was reported in six provinces so far this year.
Accordingly, cattle and poultry farms are
required to spray chemicals to disinfect the farm and surrounding areas once per
week.
Hatching centres also have to take antidotal
and disinfecting measures when transporting eggs for breeding and young animals
every day. The same goes for slaughtering houses and poultry markets.
Communes will assign staff to take
disinfecting measures, which will be funded by the local budget. Local
authorities and animal health officers will oversee the hatching centres and
slaughtering houses.
At present, six affected provinces are Thanh
Hoa, Quang Tri, Soc Trang, Ha Nam, Hai Duong and Hai Phong. According to the
ministry's Department of Animal's Health, the bird flu disease is at risk of
breaking out due to weather conditions and the shortage of proper vaccines in
localities.
