Vietnam industrialises livestock breeding
21 November 2008Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) says that Vietnam will modernise its livestock breeding sector to make it based on industrial farms by 2020, according to the Vietnamese News Agency.
‘The aim is to remove conventional forms of livestock breeding by rural households across the country', said the report. A Ministry official said recently that Vietnam's livestock industry is also targeting export markets, especially China and Hong Kong. All livestock farms, slaughterhouses and meat processing enterprises will in future be required to have their own waste treatment systems, said the official.
