African Swine Fever (ASF) has attacked Viet Nam's pig industry since 2019, the disease quickly spread throughout 63 provinces and killed more than 20% of the country's pig head. Guiding pig farmers to strengthen the implementation of biosecurity measures at farms to prevent the disease has been an urgent need. In 2020, within the framework of OSRO/VIE/402/USA project, FAO Viet Nam ECTAD in collaboration with the Department of Livestock Production (DLP) developed 8 biosecurity model small-scale pig farms in the northern high-pig-population provinces of Bac Giang and Nam Dinh. The farmers were trained on good animal management practice and biosecurity in pig farming before setting up a model farm based on the actual baseline biosecurity status. Each model farm developed an action plan for improving biosecurity conditions and practices with FAO’s technical advisory and a small financial support of 1300 USD/ a model farm (if more than this amount would be needed, the model farms would pay with their own money). During the implementation of the model action plan, FAO technical consultants directly instructed the farmers how to make footbaths at entrance into farms and pig houses, make a place for changing clothes, slippers/ boots, washing hands before entering the farms. They also provided detailed advice to farmers on renovating the pig houses, removing lower part of the floor storing bathing water, refixing drinking nipples, making a new separated feeder for each pig cell, cleaning and disinfecting the pig houses and the farm, adding probiotics into feed and water to replace prophylactic antibiotics, collecting pig manure to compost with probiotics, recording production data.
