Contactless farming - Modern development trend for farming households

According to information from the Agriculture and Environment newspaper, African swine fever (ASF) is constantly changing its species, making the "contactless farming" model a potential solution to help farmers protect their pigs more effectively.

African swine fever remains a major concern for livestock farmers in Vietnam, especially small-scale households. The disease not only causes heavy economic losses but also causes many families to lose everything, forcing them to stop raising livestock or change jobs.

In the first months of 2025, the epidemic continued to break out in many localities across the country. This is not the first time Vietnam has faced ASF, because since 2019, the epidemic has repeatedly caused serious damage, forcing thousands of pig farming households to stop operations.

Mr. Pham Kim Dang, Deputy Director of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said the danger of this disease is not only in Vietnam but also around the world. He expressed deep sympathy for livestock farmers, especially small-scale households, for the huge losses that have occurred. Controlling and preventing ASF is an extremely difficult challenge.

Although Vietnam has licensed three vaccines against African swine fever, recent studies show that the virus has mutated to become more virulent, making vaccination and disease control much more complicated. This requires long-term and stable solutions that do not depend solely on vaccines.

In that context, the “contactless farming” model is considered a promising new direction, with high efficiency and easy to apply. This model focuses on improving biosecurity by completely preventing contact between pathogens and livestock, helping to minimize the risk of infection.
