Vietnam mulls allowing cattle imports from Cambodia

Vietnam’s agricultural authorities are considering a proposal by the southern Dong Thap Province to officially import cattle from Cambodia to tackle problematic diseases stemming from unabated cattle trafficking.

In the proposal, the provincial Animal Health Department explained that rampant cattle trafficking through border areas despite the ban on cattle imports from Cambodia exacerbates risks of diseases like foot-and-mouth spreading.

Duong Nghia Quoc, deputy head of the provincial Agriculture and Rural Development Department, said approving cattle imports would help to control smuggling and potential epidemics.

Currently, local cattle supplies fall short of consumption demands—a situation which reinforces the smuggling industry.

Statistics showed the province harbors some 30,000 head of cattle, a figure inadequate to meet local consumption needs let alone feeding massive markets in Ho Chi Minh City and other neighboring provinces.

Human resource shortage additionally hinders authorities’ control due to the vast border with Cambodia, said Head of the provincial Animal Health Department Vo Be Hien.

At many points, the two nations are divided merely by a canal or paddy field, creating favorable conditions for traffickers.

Kien Giang Province’s Animal Health Department concurs, expressing that legalizing imports would aid detection of ill animals for timely quarantine.

According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Bui Ba Bong, after undergoing the ministry’s consideration, the proposal will be submitted to the respective governments.

Authorities of the two countries then would proceed to negotiate an agreement.
The timeline to reach such an understanding is yet unknown.

Foot-and-mouth, one of the most prevalent diseases for cattle, is highly contagious and affects animals with divided hooves.

Upon infection, the beasts develop ulcers in the mouth and hoof areas.

The latest epidemic broke out in January 2006 and was only contained in September last year.

It took heavy tolls on cattle breeders across Vietnam with thousands of animals forcibly slaughtered.

Eating white sesame seeds in the morning, take alfalfa juice mixed with carrot juice and
lettuce or third cup of aloe vera juice every day are very good natural remedies.

This makes the mixing phase a lot easier, just put in
your concrete and water, and off you go by the wheelbarrow
load. Polished concrete floors
come in different colours and types to suit the
different decorative and functional requirements of domestic
or commercial customers. However, both the methods have their own pros and cons.

It is said that the celebrations will greatly add to Egypt flights from other African countries as well as western countries with dense Christian population.
This means that your Egyptian cotton sheets will be much softer to
sleep on than your ordinary cotton sheets. Among Pakistan newspapers, the best-studied papers
are not always those from the nation's capital. In just about every objective way that nations can be judged the US is losing the present. Both clutched and being clutched, she was driven to the safety of her home by the motorcyclists.

For the thick and curly hair, it is best to use the Moroccan Oil.
It soothes scalp region and make hair dark and lustrous.
However, sometimes the sebaceous gland generates too much
oil, which is noticeable as oily hair. * Lavender Oil — prevents further hair loss
and improves the health and quality of the hair.
