Raising pigs in a closed cold barn is a new direction in livestock development In 2019, according to professional statistics, Thap Muoi had nearly 10,000 pigs of 406 households destroyed due to African swine fever. Like other pig-raising households, Ms. Luong Thanh Huong’s farm of nearly 500 pigs in Hamlet 3, Tan Kieu Commune also destroyed 164 pigs, it is worth mentioning that in the same place, but the cages are raised in the traditional form. disease, and the cage in the form of a closed cold barn (just a few meters away) was completely unaffected. Ms. Huong said that last year, due to the African cholera epidemic, her traditional farm was also affected by the disease and had to be destroyed a lot, but in the form of a closed cold barn, she was not affected. rebuilt the barn, raising all in the form of cold barns. Raised in this form, pigs grow quickly, reduce a lot of costs and are consumed at a higher price than the market. The closed cold barn system is divided into 3 areas including: food processing area, pig raising area and biogas cellar complex to treat manure and wastewater. This is a modern farm with full equipment such as water cooling system, exhaust fan, automatic feeding and drinking trough, automatic temperature control system inside… Model of the barn. closed cold, the temperature is always stable, the pigs are less tired due to the influence of the hot sun, helping the pigs to exercise well, eat well and grow stably, less effort to take care and clean pigs should be consumed with price is higher than the market. Therefore, there are many breeding households coming to learn the model of livestock by a closed cold barn system. Also a large pig breeder, Ms. Nguyen Thi My Em from Hamlet 4, Tan Kieu Commune is intending to rebuild the barn in the form of a cold-closed barn, but is still facing financial difficulties. Raising pigs in a closed cold barn system is a new direction in livestock development today, but the initial investment is relatively large. Mr. Nguyen Hong Sang – Deputy Head of Technical Training and Technology Transfer Department, Thap Muoi Agricultural Service Center said: “Effectiveness when raising livestock in the form of closed cold cages is clear, but the common difficulties of farmers are obvious. raising livestock in the district is the source of capital, because raising according to this model requires relatively large capital. Dong Thap also has policies to support the development of household livestock production, but it is difficult for people to access this capital due to the habit of small-scale livestock production, which the policy is bound to be on a large enough scale, depending on the type of livestock. but have different regulations, must link consumption, environmental protection issues… so it is difficult for people to access”. In order to keep livestock from being affected by the epidemic, ensure environmental hygiene, safety and efficiency, in the coming time, Thap Muoi needs to strengthen the propaganda to change the practice of small and fragmented livestock to form of farm farming, concentrated, self-contained, sustainable livestock production.
