Despite challenges such as extreme weather, diseases, and the Covid-19 epidemic, which led to fluctuating prices and transportation difficulties, Hanoi's livestock industry experienced growth in the first half of 2021. The industry saw increases in the total herd of buffaloes and cows, pigs, and dogs and cats, but a decrease in the poultry herd. The industry also faced challenges like the risk of infectious diseases and the need to adjust to new situations. Efforts have been made to link production with market demand, implement proactive production plans, and prevent and control diseases. The industry plans to focus on managing breed quality, applying information technology, and developing concentrated livestock production areas for key products, using ecological breeding and the process of bio-secure livestock production.
