According to the general data of the afternoon of 1-2 day of SDAH Ho Chi Minh City, from 24 to 31 January (December 24 to March 3), the establishments slaughtered 251,632 birds of all kinds.

At the same time, more than 56,000 poultry were slaughtered from provinces and provided to the City market during Tet.

Thus, compared with the previous 2 New Year, Tet this year, Ho Chi Minh City has just ensured safety and epidemiological hygiene while providing poultry needs during Tet holidays.

Although there is no province or city where bird flu occurred, the Department of Animal Health said it could launch a new outbreak of bird flu in February.
