Still subjective
Department of Animal Health (MARD) said that, since the green ear detect epidemics broke out in with over 30 thousand infected pigs, the number has destroyed about 13 thousand children. Also, in Nam Dinh is translated appeared on pig performance, expected only 1 to 2 days to translate the message appears. The two localities are the latest outbreak in Hanoi and Quang Nam.

According to the Department of Animal Health, from 13 to 19-4, translation appeared in the Kim Son commune, Central Color, Duong Quang, Phu Thi Le Chi district and Gia Lam (Hanoi) to 370 pigs and 320 children infected pigs destroyed.
Meanwhile, in Quang Nam, completely isolated with the local "service center" Red River Delta, but from 21-4-2010 in Binh Dao, Thang Binh district is the phenomenon of sick pigs, and death spread rapidly with symptoms typical of blue ear disease. 24-4 to date, there were 25 pigs (8 of 17 sows and piglets) farming households in four villages in 14 communes of Binh Dao disease.

Worrying is that while the outbreak is constantly increasing and it spreads rapidly in some people and local authorities also indifferent to prevention, which also has stealth consumption sick pigs. According to Deputy Minister Diep Kinh Tan, translations have appeared since the middle of March until now but the prevention and handling of the outbreak is too slow.

An explanation for the outbreak on a large scale and only a short time, preventing almost helpless, Hoang Van Nam, Director of Animal Health acknowledge that many local authorities were subjective, delinquent people leads to confusion, anxiety, lack of information about the service. "Many officials in districts, communes not understand the mechanisms and policies to support the blue ear epidemic, do not even know this service has been supported by the State or if the family does not believe that vaccination is not supported ; it does not know the price of pigs ... " - He was saying.

Mr. Diep Kinh Tan also direct the Department of Animal Health immediately established checkpoints at major highways to prevent the transport of pigs from the site is translated to another location. Specifically, to localize the disease spread into central and southern provinces.

Another problem is the mechanism and policy support among the local people have the same basic situation to avoid transfer services from one place to another to support higher. According to Hoang Van Nam: "The support must be calculated based on the reasonable regulations of the State. In my experience, if too high (more than market value - PV) people will be destroyed, so they are low get back to sell, sell back, very dangerous. "

Also, the question of whether vaccines can meet the demand risk epidemic, he said Hoang Van Nam, vaccination vaccines blue ear epidemic are imported from various countries, the results of vaccination initially showed this type of vaccine protection is not 100% chance if infected pigs stay completely healthy. But vaccine manufacturers recommend that if pigs were infected or at least physically, the new vaccine would be less effective.

The development of this disease but still have breeding stages as cleaning pens, vaccination, food security, weather appropriate, good breeding stock protection, should lower the rate of death ...
