Vietnam is gradually moving to controlled duck husbandry practices to improve biosecurity.

To address these challenges, farmers in the Mekong Delta are beginning to transition to more controlled duck housing systems. These new methods include semi-closed facilities with enhanced biosecurity, which reduces the risk of disease and improves the birds' growth conditions.

According to Dr. Sujith Menon, Petersime's General Manager for Asia, modern genetically improved duck breeds require strictly controlled conditions to realize their production potential. This necessitates investment in technologies that ensure optimal growth conditions .

A key aspect of this transition is improving biosecurity, which includes strict disinfection, vaccination , and duck health monitoring measures. It's also necessary to consider the impact of external factors, such as pesticide use, which necessitates a shift to organic farming practices and minimizing chemical impacts on the environment.

With the transition to more controlled farming practices, the need for high-quality hatching material is increasing. Farmers must carefully select suppliers that provide high-quality eggs and chicks. Adherence to strict production technologies is key to successful poultry farming.

Vietnam's transition to new duck husbandry systems is a response to modern agricultural challenges. Strengthening biosecurity, using modern technologies, and high-quality hatching material will help preserve the flock and improve its productivity, a necessary step for the sustainable development of poultry farming.
