<TABLE class=dtContentImgWrap border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right><TBODY><TR><TD class=dtContentImgFig></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>The blue ear pig disease has broken out in several northern provinces, including Hai Duong, Thai Binh and Thai Nguyen, raising concerns about epidemic prevention in localities.
Since the first case was detected in Hai Duong?s Binh Giang district on March 28, the Porcine Reproductive & Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus has spread to Tu Ky and Gia Loc districts, with more than 650 pigs infected, of which 100 have already died.
The provincial Department of Animal Health blames the recent outbreaks on unusual weather conditions, poor knowledge of farming practices, and poor vaccination campaigns. In addition, farmers still sell sick and infected pigs, paying no heed to warnings from veterinarians.
The department has supplied 6 tonnes of disinfectant to spray over affected areas. Mobile checkpoints have been established to prevent the slaughtering, trading and transport of infected pigs to and from the restricted areas. Farmers and butchers have been encouraged not to sell sick pigs.
?We have collaborated with the police and market management forces to monitor sick pigs and cull those seriously infected,? Pham Dinh Nghi, deputy head of the department. ?We have disinfected farms twice a week and enhanced the dissemination of information about the disease.?
Infections have been also detected in a herd of 41 pigs in Phu Binh district, Thai Nguyen province. Half the herd have been confirmed to carry the PRRS virus.
In Thai Binh province, the virus has attacked 8 out of 44 communes in Dong Dung district, with more than 1,000 pigs sick or dead.
?It takes us a lot of time to wipe out the disease completely and this requires a large budget,? says Vu Duy Viet, head of the Dong **** District Veterinary Agency. ?In addition, we face a chronic lack of veterinarians who are normally not provided with allowances to work in communes. A low rate of vaccination and lax management of trading and transporting of sick pigs are also major obstacles to preventing an epidemic.?
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has instructed the Red River Delta provinces to intensify preventative measures, with a focus on quarantining sick pigs and vaccinating the others.
?Our staff are on duty around the clock running the hotline to provide support if required,? says Van Dang Ky, a MARD veterinary expert. ?The national reserve has a sufficient amount of vaccines and disinfectants to be supplied to provinces and cities. Veterinarians are asked to monitor suspected cases from door to door in localities to ensure the epidemic will not spread far and wide.?
Experts have warned that the current weather conditions are favourable for the PRRS virus to emerge and spread to other communities. Farmers have been advised to inform the nearest veterinary agency about any cases with symptoms of the blue ear disease, and not to throw infected pigs into ponds or sell their meat to local residents.http://english.vovnews.vn/Home/Blue-...104/114557.vov

Dead pigs floating on river

According to the report of Hai Duong province, far blue ear pig in Hai Duong on developments increasingly complex, difficult to control. There Hai Duong province has 38 communes of 5 districts (Binh Giang, Tu Ky, Gia Loc, Cam Giang, Thanh Ha) is on PRRS pigs, pigs with a total of nearly 6,000 sick children, to spend I canceled 3266.

Morning, Department of Animal Health and Hoang Van Nam province of Hai Duong leaders inspect the work on prevention and control PRRS in Thach Error (Factory). At this locality, the prevention PRRS really worrying, as some farmers and traders identify pigs pigs indiscriminately thrown into rivers, lakes pollute the environment.

As Chairman Thach Error - Vu Thach Bath, translation occurs, the forces participating in prevention and faced many difficulties. When pigs die, social security forces, and veterinary staff have refused to participate destruction. Should the pig farmers have thrown dead sick pigs into landfills, rivers, lakes, not buried.

According to Bon, the main reason is no mechanism to support timely policy join forces for prevention. While in the commune have 15-20 households selling piglets, so the traffic control for these households is very difficult.

After checking in error Thach, Vice Chairman Nguyen Trong Hai Duong, Thua said: The prevention and control PRRS in this economic weakness. Mass system of government here is almost paralyzed. This situation should be remedied soon.

Indeed, in Hai Duong, Thach not only error, which in Thai Hoa Binh Giang commune, dead blue ear status was thrown into the river and lake lots. This shows that prevention work is really worrying.

Translation is spread

According to Hoang Van Nam, PRRS first appeared in Hai Duong province and then spread into the provinces of Thai Binh, **** Yen, Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen. Till today, blue ear in the provinces had 23,763 sick pigs, 8300 pigs must be destroyed.

Although the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has instructed early on prevention and PRRS. However, the results of prevention and control PRRS have not been as expected. So, PRRS has spread fast.

Currently, PRRS outbreaks have occurred in six provinces and cities north of the Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Thai Nguyen, **** Yen, Bac Ninh and Hai Phong.

Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung (Institute for Animal Health) said that, through empirical research showed that blue ear virus usually changes much more than bird flu virus. Thus, if the previous PRRS often sows, piglets died, but now if this disease is more pig died.

From 2007 to now, blue ear usually appear in late March and early April. Thus, PRRS occurs almost as a rule, simultaneous outbreaks in several provinces.

Before the unpredictable evolution of the blue ear epidemic, yesterday, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, the province urgently recommended enclosure outbreak; controlled infected pigs and the transport, slaughter sick pigs. If the local does not do this step, the work of prevention and failure. http://www.tienphong.vn/Tianyon/Inde...41&ChannelID=2

"The hand" with the blue ear pig?



(VOV) - blue ear pig appeared in six provinces in the Red River Delta to speed quickly spread and high death rate of pigs. After more than half months since the first outbreak, there have been tens of thousands of infected pigs.
Although the blue ear disease is not new and most recent outbreak in 2007 was widespread in the Red River Delta provinces but so far a number of agencies as well as many provinces are still confused in the prevention.

Of the six Red River Delta province of outstanding green on pig ear, **** Yen province is the number of pigs infected the most, more than 11,000 children. In particular, the percentage of dead pigs near 40%, double the outbreaks occurred in 2007.

Still confused in the prevention and control PRRS in pigs (photo illustration)



Dang Ngoc Minh, Vice Chairman of **** Yen province said the provincial authorities have sent samples to the Veterinary Diagnostic Center Central but has not yet received test results cause epidemic strain disease as well as the level of virulence of the virus.

Meanwhile, the blue ear pig in **** Yen is spreading very fast pace. Translated in 8 communes of Van Lam district has destroyed nearly 4,000 sick pigs.

Dang Minh Ngoc worry: "With thousands of pigs destroyed, buried under the ground, we are very concerned about the safety of the burial pits in the future as well as whether any problems arise with water ground, air ... "

He also asked Ngoc scientists, the authorities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development research assistance of **** deeply about blue ear disease. Because, this disease causes great damage on the economic, environmental pollution.

Hai Duong Province is one of the first local Red River Delta in detecting PRRS in pigs than half months and so far infected more than 6,000 pigs, which destroyed more than 3,000 children.

However, as **** Yen province, agencies of Hai Duong province to this point has proposed Animal Health Agency diagnosis of pathogenic virus outbreaks this year and guide appropriate treatment. But the responses received so far is Animal Health Diagnostic Center Central is specific research on this issue.

Mr. Hoang Van Nam, Director of Animal Health said: "The diagnosis of viral pathogens, research on pathogenic level we do not and has not been sent because the new place. Next time we will be required for virulence test of time. "

Clearly, both the authorities and local governments are still confused in the prevention of PRRS in pigs. As for the farmers because "the torment of pain", has not been re-added the popular treatment for sick pigs should be more people selling sick pigs into the market.

What the majority of people are interested for years PRRS in pigs occurred as a rule but prevention remains high and is not effective. Tran Van Hien, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Faculty, University of Agriculture an analysis Hanoi: "This disease has its rules, monitored in 2009 we find that it is stable because of the immune army years ago to. Now the most immune to the epidemic broke again. "

According to Hien, each locality has some latent viruses in pigs can the immune halfway. So easy to break out in a sensitive child. Weather service changes will occur.
While no specific drug treatment of ear diseases in pigs is an effective means to prevent this disease is vaccination vaccine. However, animal health experts said, if the vaccine in the herd are infected or may be impaired, the effective prevention is very low.

Therefore, in the time of service being circulated in many places today, the green ear outbreak in pigs, the localities should implement measures: disinfection of the environment, localized outbreak, immediately pepper cancellation of sick children at the same time isolating pigs make pigs sick and healthy, to supervise the purchase and sale of pigs in the locality, management of sick pigs to avoid selling to the market. http://vovnews.vn/Home/Bo-tay-voi-di...104/141784.vov

Prevent outbreaks green ear


On 29-04-2010 03:29

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. The main reason is because after three years, the natural disease-fighting antibodies of blue ear pig herd has declined, plus the unusual weather, high humidity makes the air healthy cattle is reduced, enabling micro- pathogenic virus.
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. Conversely, some households to buy the service from the same pig for breeding or slaughter pork business from epidemic areas in their localities.


According to veterinary experts, to put service requires sufficient convergence of three issues: measures, policies and implementation seriously. In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has developed system solutions and technical treatment regimen in each epidemic. In 2008, the Prime Minister issued Decision support for blue ear disease.

Accordingly, when the pigs were destroyed, farmers are supported amount equal to 70% of market value. So, to quickly control the epidemic, the province needs to seriously implement the 615 phone number (issued on 21-4) by the Prime Minister; The Power of 14 (days 8-4), No. 15 (on 26-4) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to strengthen the measures for prevention. In particular, public policy should support and unified support levels destroying disease among local pigs, to avoid price differences, selling pigs, causing damage to livestock. Besides, should also promote the propagation of the dangerous nature of the disease and measures of prevention but not alarming, to help people actively working with governments, authorities quickly prevent epidemic spread, and minimize damage caused by the disease. http://www.nhandan.com.vn/tinbai/?to...article=173568
