Viet Nam Hog Markets
VIET NAM - On a national scale, the first nine months of the livestock situation has been quite complicated. Livestock production, compared with the same period last year, saw breeding intentions and actual matings improve and showed positive results in the first two quarters, but tended to decrease in the third quarter due to difficulty in prices (lower livestock prices and higher feed costs) and strong disease issues, especially with blue ear (PRRS) in swine, writes Ron Lane.
