Mr. Cuong said that raising cattle following the closed industrial scale is a step in sustainable development and new-style rural area building. He said this will help prevent the spread of African swine fever and create a means of subsistence for livestock households.

“I believe we will build effective cattle raising models to cope with African swine fever and change the face of Vietnam’s breeding industry in the long term,” said Minister Cuong.
