According to the latest report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, from early October to 22 November, bird flu broke out at 292 households, in 174 communes and wards of 77 districts, of 22 provinces and cities nationwide.

Localities have destroyed nearly 1.3 million birds. Regarding the development of the epidemic, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in the South, the epidemic recurred in Long An, but there has been no new outbreak in the last 10 days.

In the Central region, the epidemic continued to erupt in Thanh Hoa; In the North, outbreaks occurred in some mountainous provinces such as Son La and Cao Bang. Some provinces with old epidemics still spread the epidemic in the area such as Hai Duong, Hai Phong and Bac Ninh.

At present, localities have translated epidemics and are applying strong measures to quell epidemics and epidemics to encircle poultry, disinfect, disinfect, and dispose of poultry control poles from epidemic areas. Localities have not yet had the epidemic to continue the vaccination, to intensify poisoning, disinfection and control of poultry in and out of the locality and to propagate to the people on epidemic prevention and control.

In the face of new developments in the current epidemic, the Ministry of Health's view is to protect the safety of human life is important.

Concluding the meeting, Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung stated that the development of bird flu and human pandemic influenza in our country is still very complicated. It is necessary to continue propagating among the people to understand the level of danger and unpredictable harms if human flu occurs.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung

According to Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, localities need to actively reduce poultry flocks, especially in cities, urban areas, not selling chicks and not hatching eggs. At the same time, the localities actively take appropriate measures to slaughter and destroy poultry, but must be strictly quarantined in parallel with actively controlling, transporting, trading poultry, well performing the epidemic prevention measures with the highest goal is to protect people's lives.

Deputy Prime Minister said that it is necessary to consider the ability to destroy the total poultry herd nationwide, with over 200 million children. Currently, poultry destruction is only done in inner cities, inner cities, populated areas and industrial parks. If the total poultry herd is destroyed, it will lose no more than VND 450 billion for vaccination against influenza vaccine. Previously, in many meetings organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, leaders of many cities and provinces have questioned whether there is a waste when just holding a vigorous vaccination.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung also assigned specific tasks to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Technology in the production of vaccines and ventilators for the prevention and control of avian influenza. and pandemic influenza in humans.

Good epidemic cleaning is able to extinguish the epidemic

For many months, the country has been seething due to the threat of avian influenza (H5N1), causing great material losses and significant impacts on the psychology of the community. Experts also said that the threat of disease outbreak of type A H5N1 virus in our country is real, but from a scientific perspective, it is not too difficult to exclude, if we have the understanding. know about this strain of virus and conscientiously prevent it.

Dr. Nguyen Van Vang, Director of the Animal Husbandry Institute (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) reaffirmed: A type of H5N1 influenza virus was quickly destroyed at temperatures above 700C, or in an alkaline environment. Therefore, only necessary measures to thoroughly isolate and sanitize and disinfect common poultry safely protect poultry herds of tens of thousands of children at all research and development centers of the Institute, located in many regions and regions (including epidemic areas) from 2003 to present.

A leading expert who has worked for nearly 50 years in the veterinary field said that the occurrence of some disease outbreaks today is the result of disregarding veterinary work in our country so far. . But if at this time, we can calm down, strengthen the potential for veterinary medicine, especially mobilize and instruct farmers to handle well the epidemic hygiene problem. turn off flu, protect poultry flocks.

Specifically: to organize the implementation of epidemic prevention seriously from the grassroots level, especially in key areas and high-risk areas where epidemics occur. All villages and hamlets jointly sign commitments to implement "5 no" (without freeing poultry, not buying and selling sick poultry, do not eat sick or unidentified poultry meat, do not hide translate, do not throw the carcass indiscriminately).

Especially, it is necessary to organize sanitation and disinfection in animal husbandry establishments, where live poultry trading, slaughtering and poultry processing facilities, and access roads to the breeding area. Limiting the situation of small, immediate livestock, forcing these households to keep in captivity (possibly within the garden, but must be protected by closed fences, not to be contacted with birds or poultry disease from elsewhere. The flocks of poultry infected with H5N1 are determined to destroy.

Ba Ria-Vung Tau, many households registered to breed poultry to raise

There is a very strange phenomenon that while poultry farmers in most of the country are suffering from pandemic flu, poultry cannot be sold, the past few days dozens of poultry farmers in Chau Duc and Tan districts Thanh, Xuyen Moc, Ba Ria-Vung Tau province rushed to the Sub-Department to apply for entry of breeding poultry to serve the Lunar New Year market.

Most people applying for poultry are those who have experienced influenza. There are households in Chau Duc district (where the biggest waterfowl in the province), although there are up to 4,000 birds that cannot be sold, but still apply to buy more breeds to "gamble" luck on Tet because they I think the market may be 'breaking ice' then and maybe it will be big because no one dares to raise! SDAH statistics until November 24, the total number of poultry registered about 100,000, of which 50,000 are from farms processing for CP Company.

Mr. Ky Huu Minh, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in the recent meeting also expressed his opinion that should not develop poultry flocks at this time, it is best to focus on good prevention of diseases. and find a way to consume poultry that has reached the time of finishing. Increasing herd at this time will increase the pressure on disease prevention and at the same time contain many risks for farmers.

Meanwhile, between 5,000 and 17,000 chickens from large farms in Tan Hoa and Toc Tien communes (Tan Thanh district) continue to die and become more and more skinny due to lack of food, while the farm owner is lethargic. I am tired of the eyes of the people who come to buy and not see the figure.

Hue established "task force" to kill pigeons

Many people are students, unmarried. They all believe in the capacity of Vietnamese scientists.
