Ho Chi Minh City: How to ban poultry farming?

Slaughtering 2,400 chickens and evil parents of Ho Chi Minh City Poultry Company at An Nhon Poultry Slaughter Center

The city has issued policies to centralized, registered and controlled poultry farmers by supporting the purchase price of VND 8,000 / kg; At the same time, support for broiler 3,000 VND / pig, 5,000 VND / pig. The city has banned small poultry farming since before the risk of epidemic occurrence, if any household is still stealthily raising, it must be responsible, the general rule is that there is no support at all.

* In the present time, poultry consumption is a problem that farmers are very worried about .

- As I said, the city has a policy to support enterprises to purchase poultry to store cold storage, processing gradually and doing business later.

* In addition to prohibiting poultry and waterfowl breeding, does TP prohibit breeding birds?

- The city has banned trading and gathering birds in crowded places. When raising birds at households, veterinarians must also guide how to spread nets, not allowing wild birds to approach. In the immediate future, if the situation is more complicated, it may also decide to destroy the birds.

* Does the city prohibit small poultry traders?

- The purchase and sale of small live poultry has been banned since the beginning of 2004. Accordingly, all business households only sell ready-to-eat chickens (slaughtered, controlled by the veterinary). The TP encourages the sale of quarantined poultry meat at supermarkets or agents or the company's own stores; At the same time (when everything is back to normal), it is possible to form a closed chain of linkages from centralized breeding to control, surveillance of veterinary diseases to concentrated slaughter and finally put on display for sale.

* What are the procedures required for concentrated animal husbandry establishments that want to bring goods into TP?

- Poultry from the province to the city must have a certificate from the local veterinary department, specifying the specific sale to any slaughter facility. When going to the gateway station, the TP will indicate the shipping route specified. This roadmap is unanimously discussed by police, market management, and veterinary forces. In addition, when arriving at the quarantine station, the vehicles will be fitted with a 'poultry transport vehicle'. Vehicles that carry poultry into the city without sea are known immediately as illegal vehicles.

* How will the slaughter facilities handle it, sir?

- According to the announcement of the City People's Committee, if the slaughterhouses (which were still allowed to operate before) but near residential areas that have not properly dealt with the epidemic prevention problem, they will be temporarily closed. TP will calculate how to support these slaughter facilities. Because the 'great deal' is likely to stop some slaughterhouses in the near future, but how much I can stop responding because I am waiting for the medical, commercial and veterinary sectors to decide.

* How is the number of poultry not purchased, destroyed?

- By the time of November 15, if not buying all the poultry in the purchasing standard due to being affected by the slaughtering progress, frozen storage, winter level, the city can travel a few days for companies. And those that do not meet the standards (weight too small) are forced to dispose of burnt and buried. There are many burial sites, depending on the location, scale and terrain, capable of being buried in landfills. Particularly, burning still takes place in Binh Hung Hoa area.
