ND - Free green ear broke out in Hai Duong province in late March, has now spread to 130 communes, wards and towns in 19 districts, nine towns of the province of the Red River Delta region and Quang Nam province . Although, the local effort to mobilize forces stamping service, but service is very complex evolution, not less influence to the farming activities, trading and slaughtering pigs in the epidemic areas. Statistics show that nearly 37 thousand infected pigs, in which more than 14 thousand children forced to destroy.


According to the Department of Animal Health, compared with ear diseases outbreaks first in 2007, this year's epidemic spreads faster and stronger.

On the other hand, after a long period without service, government and many local people having faith, negligence in prevention services, the vaccine distribution plan prevention of diseases such as cholera pigs, gathering blood infections, typhoid deal ... rate is not high, contributing to a more serious epidemic. Especially, when the outbreak, local authorities are still confused in handling the outbreak (the destruction or treatment of infected cattle), which urge people selling unique situation, even throwing the pigs were determined patients to drain trough, the field not only pollute the environment but also for more wide spread epidemic.

Reality check against the epidemic at the local shows, each locality has different levels of support to the people in the provinces bordering with transport assistance to high to be supported more money; main job also spread disease.
