An Giang strengthens measures to prevent epidemics and protect the health of livestock.

According to information from the Agriculture and Environment newspaper, many livestock farmers in An Giang have applied the method of using microorganisms combined with herbs to increase resistance and treat the barn environment, contributing to protecting livestock from increasingly complicated disease situations.

Faced with the unpredictable developments of livestock diseases, livestock farmers in An Giang are turning to biological solutions to replace chemical antibiotics. In localities such as Tan Hiep, Hon Dat, Chau Thanh, Tinh Bien, adding natural ingredients such as garlic, turmeric, ginger, galangal to the diet along with IMO probiotics has become a popular method.

Experts say that garlic contains allicin and turmeric contains curcumin – active ingredients with natural antibacterial properties. When fermented with microorganisms, these active ingredients help increase beneficial intestinal bacteria, inhibit harmful bacteria and stimulate digestion. As a result, livestock have a healthy digestive system, improve resistance, reduce the risk of disease and limit the use of chemical antibiotics.

The application of microbial preparations combined with herbs is carried out right at the households. People grow microorganisms themselves, ferment a mixture of herbs such as garlic, turmeric, ginger, galangal, bear bile leaves... then dilute it for animals to drink or mix it into food. Healthy pigs are given 10 to 20 ml per day, for sick pigs the dose increases to 40 ml, usually seeing recovery within 3 to 5 days. Many households also use this solution to bathe pigs, helping to kill bacteria on the skin, reduce odor and limit the spread of disease.

In addition to animal care, farmers are also advised to spray 5% lime powder combined with herbal microbial products to disinfect barns. For barns that have been infected, spraying should be done 3 to 5 times, combined with high-pressure cleaning to kill pathogens and maintain a clean environment, minimizing toxic gases.

According to the An Giang province agricultural sector, this “green antibiotic” method has many advantages such as being easy to implement, low cost, taking advantage of available raw materials and being suitable for small-scale farming households. More importantly, this is a sustainable approach, helping to reduce the amount of residual antibiotics in food, meeting the increasingly strict standards of domestic and foreign markets.
