Developing concentrated poultry farming, applying science and technology

In recent years, poultry farming has not only grown in quantity but also made progress in farming methods. From scattered, small-scale farming, people have shifted to concentrated farming, applying science and technology.

Taking us to visit his family's chicken farm, Mr. Nguyen Hai Diep in Van Xuan commune said: The family has just invested in expanding the barn, installing more technological equipment, increasing the total flock to 35,000, of which about 30,000 are broilers and 5,000 are egg-laying chickens. To ensure the safety of the poultry, my family has fully vaccinated and disinfected the farming area. At the same time, some technologies have been applied such as automatic feeding; installing a cooling system for the farming area, temperature measuring and warning devices; cold storage for commercial eggs... Thanks to that, the poultry flock is healthy, less susceptible to disease; commercial eggs are properly preserved, thus extending the consumption and use time.

Investing in expanding the scale of raising meat chickens and egg-laying chickens helps Mr. Nguyen Hai Diep's family in Van Xuan commune earn over 700 million VND/year.

Up to now, the total poultry flock in the province is about 37.7 million, of which 31.8 million are chickens; egg production reaches nearly 1.5 billion eggs/year. The whole province currently has over 5,200 concentrated livestock farms, of which nearly 2,000 are poultry farms; the number of chickens raised in a concentrated form accounts for over 32% of the total flock. Phu Tho is currently the province with the total poultry flock in the top 5 in the country.

These figures show that poultry farming in the province is developing strongly in a concentrated, modern and sustainable direction; applying science and technology, improving productivity and quality, applying biosafety standards, building a closed value chain from farm to market; diversifying deeply processed products and enhancing digital transformation.

Applying automatic feeding technology helps reduce costs and food loss rate, increasing economic efficiency at Dung Minh Company Limited, Cam Khe commune.

Mr. Tran Van Quynh in Tam Nong commune, owner of a white chicken farm for Emivest Feedmill Vietnam Co., Ltd., said: When the African swine fever broke out, we decided to expand our farming scale. Compared to raising colored chickens, white chickens take a shorter time and cost less. In recent years, the consumption of white chickens has been more favorable, with higher prices than before, especially at facilities that are recognized as disease-free.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha - Deputy Head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Veterinary and Fisheries commented: To increase effective poultry farming, it is necessary to focus on applying biosecurity measures (house hygiene, disease prevention), improving nutrition and managing stocking density well. Developing a disease-safe value chain from breeding to processing and consumption, investing in science and technology; creating favorable conditions in terms of policies and credit for businesses and households to develop. In addition, it is necessary to build livestock facilities in reasonably planned areas, far from residential areas, ensuring biosecurity, facilitating environmental treatment and disease prevention and control. Strengthening control of dangerous infectious diseases such as avian influenza, Newcastle and some other highly contagious infectious diseases.

Mr. Phan Kim Hung's family in Hung Viet commune invested in machinery to make their own herbal feed for egg-laying chickens.

Poultry farmers also need to pay close attention to market developments and not increase their flocks too quickly. Select breeds from reputable suppliers to ensure quality. Increase the use of biological bedding to treat waste. Fully implement vaccination, disinfection, and environmental sanitation to ensure disease safety, contributing to promoting sustainable livestock farming, aiming for export.
