News media said today has 21 provinces and cities across the country are blue ear pig with over 120 thousand pigs were infected.
However, according to MARD, the recent meeting in HCM City on 13/08, the prevention of blue ear disease is now facing many difficulties because no effective vaccine.

Ministry requires only local review the disease situation to deal with measures such as "stepping up propaganda, as well as the declaration is translated, and controls to prevent the transport of infected pigs Blue ear epidemic out of the area ... "and" strict implementation of the animal quarantine and control of slaughtering pigs, with special attention to transport pigs and pork products in unprocessed local ...".

Prior to any situation and in this operation returns, according to our above-mentioned measures of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the recommendations of the Animal Health Department is still dealing nature, prevent, including enough vaccines, rather than from the original room.

Mr. Phan Xuan Thao - Heads of Sub-City Animal Health Department said an important information: "What today is the most dangerous viruses causing PRRS PRRS in circulation both in animals and the environment numbers increased 10 times, but forces the function check and supervision so thin, can not check the source of all pigs from other provinces into ...". Also in Hai Duong province, according to Nhan Dan newspaper, from mid-April and has had blue ear pig but no power to fetch water washing cages, the disease spread as quickly because of environmental pollution ...
Thus, the rural environment is polluted both factors cause a condition has spread in recent years. Everyone knows disorder pig reproduction and respiratory (PRRS), also known as blue ear pig disease. This is an infectious disease dangerous to pigs caused by viruses. Epidemic virus in nasal, saliva, semen, feces, urine and dispersed into the environment by transporting pigs with the disease (virus in the wind can travel to 3 km), dust, saliva, farming tools and instruments of labor protection infection, artificial insemination, due to some type of wild birds and especially the flies ...

That in the rural environment now, flies are a problem because garbage is not collected and thrown indiscriminately, by raising the lack of household sanitation. The odor from livestock manure is spread through the house from other houses, but as a livelihood, the government is ultimately problematic.

So, before swine blue ear epidemic is raging from year to year causing hard times for poor people, in addition to seeking effective vaccines and other administrative measures to stop, think first of all matters set ultimately solve the environmental pollution in rural areas now need to be put on top of both the government and investors aware of the people.
