Following outbreaks of African swine fever and avian influenza in Bac Ninh province, which resulted in the culling of over 1,600 pigs and 4,200 poultry, local authorities launched a large-scale disinfection and vaccination campaign. This initiative, scheduled for mid-September through October 2026, aimed to mitigate the risk of further spread through environmental cleaning and mass vaccination.

By late September, disease control efforts intensified across other regions, including Ha Tinh province, where African swine fever emerged in Thien Cam commune, leading to the culling of over 1,600 kg of infected pigs. Authorities have expanded focus to include biosecurity measures in major livestock hubs like Dong Nai. These measures, including increased surveillance and strict disinfection protocols, are being implemented to stabilize the meat supply and ensure food security ahead of the year-end holiday season.
