Vietnamese livestock farmers switch to goats and cows due to rising feed prices

As feed prices continue to rise, some pig and poultry farmers are switching to animals that can be raised without the use of ready-made commercial feeds based on imported ingredients, and feed them with affordable feeds from local raw materials.

This has led to an increase in the price of cattle, goats and sheep. The price of calves is up $86/ head compared to last year, while the price of goats is $ 6.9/kg, $0.65/kg more than last year, the highest. index since the beginning of the year. Trade officials say this upward trend will continue for several months.
