Recently, as reflected by the mass media, the illegal trade and transport of
buffaloes across the borders into Vietnam has been quite complicated. This
activity increases the risk of infection and spread of dangerous diseases such
as: Foot-and-mouth disease, skin rash... leading to fail the requirements of
veterinary hygiene and food safety, which has the potential to affect seriously
the domestic livestock industry as well as people's health.
In
order to promptly prevent the illegal trade and transport of cows and buffaloes
across the borders, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has
requested the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to urgently implement
synchronously the measures to prevent the acts of trading, slaughtering and
transport of cattle, unsafe smuggled products made from cattle causing the
spread of diseases on buffaloes and cows such as: Foot-and-mouth disease, skin
rash, ... strictly handling cases of smuggling, trading in cattle products of
unknown origin in the localities under their administration.
In
addition, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development also has
requested the Sub-Department of Livestock Production and Animal Health to
strengthen inspection and control to detect early and handle strictly any case
of illegal trade and transport of buffaloes, cows and products made from buffaloes
and cows into the province to prevent the illegal import, transport and trade
of buffaloes and cows into the province.
