    Poultry Producer Survey: Gathering Evidence for a Transitional Strategy (GETS) for HPAI H5N1 vaccination in Vietnam 2010

    Gathering Evidence for a Transitional Strategy (GETS) implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with financial assistance from USAID is to provide field data by testing a number of alternative strategies including differing vaccination strategies and the complimentary strategy of improved surveillance. The purpose of the GETS project is to assist the Government of Vietnam in transitioning from the current national, mass vaccination of poultry to more cost-e ffective and targeted measures for sustained control of HPAI. This survey is a part of one of the multidisciplinary approaches of GETS - the Sociological Behaviour Component. The survey objectives are threefold: • To understand the reaction and possible acceptance of a change in vaccine strategy. • To understand how farmers use and integrate vaccination into their farming strategy and how this can change as well as the implication of it. • To monitor farmers’ perception and behavior change .

    Evidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain: Viet Nam 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Policy change requires support from all levels of stakeholders, starting from the grassroots level to the decision-making authorities. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD) are supporting the Department of Livestock Production (DLP) of Viet Nam to improve risk management along the market chain by closely collaborating with all levels of stakeholders. The project is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Bac Giang is one of the provinces with the highest poultry population in Viet Nam. However, the biosecurity conditions of hatchery and poultry households are still very poor, contributing to low production efficiency and increasing risk of animal and zoonotic diseases. Although the legislations of Viet Nam regarding auditing on veterinary hygiene conditions are available, they are not suitable for the small-scale production, which is widely popular in Viet Nam. In this context, DLP in collaboration with FAO is implementing the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain” in Bac Giang to improve farmers’ and local authorities’ capacity on good husbandry and biosecurity practices and to support registration, auditing and certification system of hatcheries.
