The southern province of Tay Ninh is considering the provision of 10,000 doses of vaccine and 200 litres of antiseptic worth over VND200 million for neighbouring Kom Pong Cham, to help the Cambodian province stamp out its ongoing foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in livestock.
To avoid the spread of the disease to border areas, Tay Ninh province has urged Kom Pong Cham authorities to strictly control the ill livestock and not allow the transport of cattle from the epidemic areas across the border into Vietnam, said Nguyen Thai Son, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The province has also asked police, customs, border guard and market management forces as well as the people’s committees of border districts to strengthen coordination in preventing illegal cross-border cattle transport.
From September 15 to October 20, the province will conduct an inoculation against blood infections and FMD on its livestock.
Kom Pong Cham province reported that by September 14, around 14,000 cattle contracted FMD.
