Vietnam aims to prevent animal disease outbreaks

Reports say the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has directed Vietnamese provinces to take measures to prevent animal epidemics such as H5N1 avian flu, foot-and-mouth and blue-ear pig disease.
Steps to be taken include vaccinating 80% of livestock, setting up animal quarantine stations and suspending livestock transportation out of outbreak areas.
Since the beginning of 2009, only 30% of poultry have been vaccinated.
