The pig herd in the Tay Ninh province is estimated to total about 410,000 head, mainly raised on large farms. Meanwhile, 20% of the total herd is small-scale households with limited biosecurity conditions and a high disease risk.
With a nearly 240 km-long border with Cambodia, Tay Ninh province is focusing on improving veterinary capacity such as increasing human resources and equipment according to the Project to Enhance the Capacity of the Veterinary Management System to prevent the risk of disease from the border.
Tay Ninh province's agricultural sector strengthens control of illegal transportation. Agricultural forces closely coordinate with border guards and police to strictly handle acts of trading and transporting livestock of unknown origin. In particular, propaganda on disease prevention is promoted in the media in border areas. At the same time, they strictly handle cases of not reporting epidemics, selling or slaughtering sick or suspected to be sick animals, and dumping animal carcasses into the environment, causing the spread of epidemics.
