<SMALL class=date>May 5, 2010</SMALL>

The Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) or blue-ear disease is spreading from the north to central and southern regions of Vietnam and is likely to be co-existing with the foot-and-mouth disease, said the Veterinary Department. Since early May, PRRS has spread to 12 provinces with Ha Nam and Lang Son in the north and Nghe An in central Vietnam, the department said, adding the disease affected nearly 40,000 pigs, and nearly half of them were destroyed. The department said that the coming rainy season will prompt not only the spread of blue-ear disease but also the recurrence of foot and mouth disease among cattle and bird flu among poultry. Local administrations across Vietnam were asked to speed up vaccinations against the diseases and beef up control on animal movementshttp://benefiq-asia.com/?p=751

<TABLE class=dtContentImgWrap border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right><TBODY><TR><TD class=dtContentImgFig></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Blue-ear pig disease has spread to Hanoi and 10 northern and central provinces with more than 50,000 pigs infected by the virus, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said on May 4.
The infected provinces include Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Thai Nguyen, **** Yen, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, Lang Son and most recently, Nghe An.
Hoang Van Nam, director of the ministry?s Animal Health Department said that the localities have continued to discover infected pigs, especially in the cities and provinces of Thai Binh, Hai Phong, Ha Nam, Lang Son and Nghe An.
Nam said the epidemic is still at high risk of spreading to other northern and central areas because the quarantine stations set up in localities have proved ineffective.
Those provinces remaining unaffected by the blue-ear pig virus have already established quarantine stations.
Nam further said heads of provincial-level animal health units will have to take responsibility and be open to disciplinary action if infected pigs get through the quarantine stations.
Pham Thanh Binh, head of the Animal Health Unit in central Ha Tinh province, reported that nearly 100 infected pigs had been seized at the province?s quarantine stations while being transported between Bac Giang and Ha Tinh provinces.
The central provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Thua Thien-Hue are currently focused on checking pigs transported in their areas, he said.
Minister Cao Duc Phat asked the provinces to take drastic preventative measures and entrusted the specific tasks to the relevant authorities at a grassroots level to help people incinerate infected pigs and decontaminate surrounding areas.
With more than 2,000 pigs affected by the blue-ear virus, Hanoi?s Animal Health Unit started their contamination activities to prevent the spread of the disease, as well as establishing mobile inspection teams at quarantine stations and pig farms.
The ministry on May 4 also announced that the two central provinces of Quang Tri and Quang Ngai were still suffering from cases of bird flu in which more than 5,000 poultry had been incinerated.http://english.vovnews.vn/Home/Bluee...105/115270.vov

High risk of an outbreak of blue ear

Rate of spread and severity of PRRS are at an alarming rate
(Inspector) - At a briefing on the prevention of avian influenza (CGC), foot and mouth disease and blue ear disease has occurred on 4 / 5 in Hanoi, the Steering Committee (PSC) National National prevention and CGC said that the speed of spread and severity of PRRS are very large; not only that, the central provinces still face high risk of outbreaks of new outbreaks, while working for prevention are still many difficulties ...

* Many local confusion in implementing prevention services.
Many new outbreak arising
Department of Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) said that in two weeks, both countries continue to arise more outbreaks ear diseases in the province, city: Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh , Nghe An, Ha Nam and Lang Son. Until now, the country has recorded outbreaks of blue ear in 154 communes, wards and towns of 28 districts in 11 provinces and city. Total number of pigs infected nearly 50,000 children, which has destroyed more than 21,300 children.
Specifically, in Henan on 25 / 4 translation appeared in 48 farmers in Moc Bac commune Duy Tien on 625 children, destruction of 200 children, from Nam Dinh Province on 22 / 4 now has 146 households in family of three communes of 22 neighbors Direct General, Live Phu and helicopters (Truc Ninh district) with almost 800 children infected. But Hanoi and Hai Phong has so far infected pigs ears turn green as the 2361 and 4526 with 1238 and 1399 destroyed a child ...

Mr. Hoang Van Nam, Director of Veterinary authorities confirmed: "Compared to two weeks ago, PRRS appeared in 66 communes, wards and towns of 11 districts of the provinces of Hai Duong, **** Yen, Thai Nguyen, Thai Binh, Bac Ninh province with a total of 17,630 children are infected pigs, which was destroyed in 5497 children. Speed spread very fast, great severity. "

Local government still confusing
According to the National Steering Committee for prevention and CGC, with great speed as the current spread, the risk of outbreaks in the central region in the coming period is very high. However, the work of prevention and are now faced with many difficulties.

Currently, there are 11 provinces and city are: Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Thai Nguyen, **** Yen, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, Hanoi, Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, Lang Son and Nghe An untreated ear diseases 21 days.
As reflected by members of the National Steering Committee for prevention and CGC, in addition to negligence and found slow service, some localities have not made good financial planning process. So far, Thai Nguyen and Bac Ninh is not core support costs for the destruction of livestock farmers.
Meanwhile, some provinces apply the money to support the Government's Decision 779 for 25.000d/kg pigs (equivalent to 70% of value), causing difficulty for the support of a number of provinces later. Because, according to market when translated, blue ear pig decreased 17,000 - 18.000d/kg it will happen the difference in money to support the destruction of some places that sell pig disease where money or support 25.000d "make" healthy pigs to swine to get money to support prices above the market ... However, the promulgation of written regulations on prices is very difficult so the local is very embarrassing.

Besides, in some localities, government powerless to prevent and combat PRRS, was not sent for burial, the swine ... In addition, the work of quarantine in some areas adjacent to where the epidemic still not close ...

Must be tightened quarantine transport pigs
For prevention and effectiveness in the future, according to the National Steering Committee for prevention and CGC, to make more drastic measures at the same time.
In particular, the provinces must strictly implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the power of 615/TTg-KTN on 21/04/2010 and electricity and some 14/CD-BNN-TY 15/CD-BNN-TY Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. Special attention should tighten quarantine transport pigs and pig products from the spirit Dispatch on 02/5/2010 657/TY-KD Department of Veterinary Medicine Enhance operations at the stations, checkpoints important.

In addition, all localities should more actively in the work of prevention and PRRS; reviewing emergency plans and prevention in local blue ear disease, and allocating sufficient time funding, supplies and service work for prevention. At the same time, consolidate and strengthen the activities of the Steering Committee for prevention at all levels; tightly organized outbreak management, proactive monitoring areas in order to detect rapid and timely handling of the outbreak; assigned Director outbreak monitoring and treatment for the committee, local authorities and veterinary staff; to get rural grassroots units to direct prevention and testing services initiative.

"To guide measures for prevention and according to regulations, public policy support for pig farmers have been destroyed. Promote propaganda but proper, not alarming that farmers selling pigs does not cause psychological as well as subjective, ignored the epidemic. Also, strict implementation of the vaccine prevention of serious diseases in pigs ", he was stressed.
