ASF causes high mortality, spreads quickly, and creates major losses for both industrial farms and … Read moreASF-Resistant Pig Breeds: CRISPR and Genetic Progress 2026

Chelated Minerals vs. Inorganic Minerals: When Is It Worth Paying More? Livestock producers often face a very practical question: chelated minerals are usually more expensive than inorganic minerals, so are they really worth the extra cost? The answer is not always “yes” or “no.” It depends on the animal species, production stage, diet composition, and … Read moreChelated vs Inorganic Minerals: When Are They Worth It?

Heat-Stress Nutrition for Dairy Cows: Adjusting Summer Rations in Vietnam Summer in Vietnam is not only a challenge for farmers. It is also a particularly challenging physiological period for dairy cows. When both temperature and humidity rise, dairy cows — especially imported high-yielding breeds or crossbred Holstein Friesian cows with a high proportion of Holstein … Read moreHeat-Stress Nutrition for Dairy Cows: Summer Ration Tips

Nutrition for Hyperprolific Sows (16+ Piglets per Litter): Overcoming Milk Production and Body Condition Recovery Challenges When a sow can farrow 16 or more piglets per litter, this is not only a genetic achievement. It also creates a major nutritional demand that many farms may not be fully prepared for. Insufficient milk production, rapid loss … Read moreHyperprolific Sow Nutrition: Milk Production and Recovery

In addition to familiar diseases such as African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease, several emerging pathogens are being closely monitored by experts because they may pose risks to pig farming in the region. One important … Read moreEmerging Livestock Diseases: Recognition and Early Response

Vietnam’s Domestic ASF Vaccine After Field Rollout: Effectiveness, Limitations & Lessons for Proper Use African swine fever (ASF) remains one of the biggest threats to Vietnam’s pig farming industry. Since ASF first appeared in Vietnam in 2019, millions of pigs have had to be culled, causing major economic losses for the livestock sector. In this … Read moreDomestic ASF Vaccine: Effectiveness and Proper Use

One Health Strategy in Livestock Disease Management: Coordinating People, Animals, and the Environment Vietnam’s livestock sector is facing increasingly complex disease risks, especially in areas with high livestock density, frequent animal trade, and uneven biosecurity conditions. Diseases such as avian influenza, African swine fever, zoonotic diseases, and the risk of antimicrobial resistance show that managing … Read moreOne Health in Livestock: Better Disease Control and Biosecurity
