A seminar on preventing and controlling bird flu in the Northern delta provinces was held on December 3 in Hanoi by the Department of Animal Health under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The seminar showed that the bird flu has been spread to 23 provinces across the country and over 75,000 sick ducks have been culled since early this year.
There are several reasons for the large outbreak of the disease, including indifference by the local people and authorities, and weak coordination between agencies dealing with bird flu.
Also, many poultry flocks have not been vaccinated, and the illegal transportation of infected poultry has not been controlled. The small scale of poultry farm also causes the difficulty of the disease prevention and control
