The Government is urging farmers to switch from raising free-range ducks, offering them incentives to incorporate bio-safety measures to help prevent another H5N1epidemic. Thien Ly reports.
On a 50sq.m yard in My Hoa Commune, Thap Muoi District, Dong Thap Province, three local veterinary workers are inoculating Le Minh Doi's ducks against the H5N1 virus.
"This is the second time they've got the vaccine. The first was 15 days after the eggs hatched," Doi said. "Before vaccination, they were given drops of vitamins to build up their resistance against the vaccine's side effects."
