Secrets to Restoring Livestock Barns After Floods

Under unpredictable weather conditions with frequent floods, restoring and sanitizing livestock barns after inundation is essential to maintain biosecurity and ensure the health of farm animals. After flooding, the farming environment becomes a high-risk area for disease outbreaks. Floodwater, waste, manure, and carcasses can severely contaminate barns, creating favorable conditions for pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites to multiply, threatening both animal and human health. Therefore, proper cleaning and disinfection of barns are crucial to prevent post-flood infectious diseases in livestock. Image of animals in floods 1.

Lao Cai: Rising chicken prices bring joy to farmers as they restock their flocks

Since early August, chicken prices have been rising steadily. A favorable market has allowed farmers to turn a profit after a long period of losses. Joy has returned to many farms as households eagerly expand their operations, restock their flocks, and prepare supplies for the year-end food market. About six months ago, the price of commercial chicken at farms ranged from only 37,000 to 45,000 VND per kilogram, and at times even lower, causing heavy losses for many households. Now, prices have surged to between 55,000 and 80,000 VND per kilogram, depending on breed and rearing time, bringing significant profits..

Swine Paratyphoid – Understanding for Effective Prevention and Treatment

In pig farming, diseases are the main cause of reduced productivity and serious economic losses. Among them, swine paratyphoid is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, often breaking out rapidly and being difficult to control. During pig production, many farmers have experienced prolonged diarrhea, high fever, anorexia, and mass mortality in their herds, especially in post-weaning piglets. These symptoms are often mistaken for classical swine fever or pasteurellosis; however, in reality, they may indicate swine paratyphoid – a highly contagious disease that can cause severe damage to pig herds if not detected and treated promptly. 1. CAUSE Swine paratyphoid..

Guidelines for Constructing Tarpaulin-Lined Ponds for Efficient and Cost-Effective Aquaculture

Many farmers prefer tarpaulin-lined ponds over concrete tanks for fish farming. So, what are the advantages of tarpaulin ponds?

Constructing tarpaulin-lined ponds for aquaculture (fish, eels, shrimp, snails, frogs) has become a growing trend among both small-scale and large-scale farmers, with proven success. With relatively low initial investment, farmers can quickly set up a tarpaulin pond and stock aquatic species right away. Compared with pond excavation, installation and preparation are less complicated. So, how can tarpaulin ponds be built for maximum efficiency and..
