(HBO) In order to protect the cattle and poultry, Mai Chau district has beeb directing the functional sectors and communes to synchronously take measures to prevent animals from hunger and coldness, minimizing the damages at the lowest level due to the natural disasters.

By the end of November 2018, there were 13,709 cows, 6,502 buffaloes, 3,689 goats, 25,250 pigs and 232,744 poultry. From the beginning of this winter, the district has issued directives and dispatches on how to prevent the plants and animals in the area from hunger, coldness and diseases. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has increasingly sent their staff to the communes and villages to propagandize and guide the people there to take measures and protect their herds in the winter.  At the same time, the district has also set up working teams to inspect and direct the prevention of hunger, coldness and disease for the herds in communes and towns in the district.

 

People in Da Do hamlet, Tan Dan commune (Mai Chau) has brought the cattle to raise in the captive state and ensure the measures, preventing them from the coldness. 

In order to hold the initiative in the disease prevention and control for animals, the District's Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station has deployed 5 spraying sessions to prevent and control animal diseases in 23 communes and townships with 2,487 liters of used drugs. The area sprayed is 3,848 m2, in which the spraying disinfection and periodic detoxification is 3 times with 1,587 liters of drugs and 100 liters of drugs for the spray disinfection; the total environmental spraying disinfection after the flood is 800 liters of drugs in the district. Together with that, the district has also been directing the communes and towns to regularly update the weather and climate changes, especially the deep and heavy coldness to timely inform the people. When the temperature outside is under 100C cattle must be locked in the cages, absolutely not leaving them in the field. It is necessary to supply food for cattle and give warm water. Do not  let buffalos and cows plow. When the low temperature is prolonging, the sacks and old blankets for buffalos and cows should be used.

In recent years, thanks to the initiative in preventing and fighting the coldness, the awareness of the people in the prevention of hunger and coldness for cattle has been raised noticeably. Most of the households have built stable animal lodging  with careful screening and keeping warm litter for the herds. They have also been preserving dry food, ensuring the source of food for the animals when the weather is in bad conditions.
