Biological farming keeps pigs alive amid epidemic
An outbreak of African swine fever in February this year has shut down many farming households across Vietnam, but biological husbandry farms in Thua Thien-Hue province have managed to survive.
While many swineherds in Phong Thu commune, Phong Dien district, Thua Thien-Hue province have been stricken by African swine fever, Nguyen Van Lich still sleeps well at night thanks to biological husbandry.
Other herds in Thua Thien-Hue province have survived through the epidemic thanks to a strict breeding process which is closely monitored by an organic farming enterprise.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, bio-products enhance a pig’s immunity against diseases, including African swine fever.
Experts say that bio-farming is the best way to help the animals fight disease, especially given that an African swine fever vaccine is still under development./.
