Dozens of pigs infected with African swine fever were culled on May 20 in the northern border province of Ha Giang, according to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Party Committees at all levels, local administrations and social organisations must make strong efforts to fight African swine fever, said a directive issued on May 20 by the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) have said they are willing to help Vietnam deal with the outbreak of African swine fever (ASF).
