Yen Bai develops specialty duck breed farming

Wednesday, February 23, 2022

YBO - Thanks to many support programmes and policies, the farming of Vit bau, a specialty duck breed of Lam Thuong commune, Luc Yen district, has been expanded to many other localities across Yen Bai province.

A flock of the specialty duck breed raised in Ban Van hamlet of Viet Hong commune, Tran Yen district.

Since 2020, with capital from a project on developing and preserving this duck breed carried out by the Vietnam Farmers’ Union Central Committee, 20 households in Viet Hong commune of Tran Yen district have taken part in the farming. They have been provided with ducklings and 300kg of feed per household.

Hoang Kim Dong, a resident in Ban Van hamlet, said thanks to guidance on duck care and vaccination given by agricultural extension cadres, their duck flocks have grown well. His family provides community-based tourism services and raises ducks mainly for food for tourists who have highly valued the tastiness of this duck breed farmed in Viet Hong commune.

Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Bao said the natural water from streams in Ban Na hamlet is one of the advantages for duck husbandry. In 2021, the commune sold about 4,000 ducks at about 130,000 VND (5.7 USD) each. Demand has continually exceeded supply, especially when this breed has had its brand established.

Many local households are building and repairing infrastructure to prepare for expanding the farming scale next month, he noted.

In late 2021, seven households of the specialty duck farming cooperative group in Khao Mang commune, Mu Cang Chai district, were also assisted to use microbial products in duck farming to ensure environmental protection.

The provincial Farmers’ Union has supplied them with 2,250 one-day-old ducklings, 9,675 tonnes of feed, 4,500 doses of cholera vaccine, 2,250 doses of hepatitis vaccine, and 2,250 doses of bird flu vaccine. Farmers have also received other support, including 1kg of the Biowish additive to animal feed and another 1kg of the product for treating farming waste. Besides, training in the use of microbial products in the farming has been provided.

Ly An Nu, a resident in Hang Bla Ha B village, said his family was supplied with 321 ducklings which are now qualified for sale, and that he expects good earnings from selling the ducks to restaurants in the district’s downtown.

In 2020, the Lam Thuong duck breed had its trademark registration certified by the Intellectual Property Office of Vietnam under the Ministry of Science and Technology. This is a measure for preserving the breed, enhancing its reputation, advertising related products, and helping improve local residents’ awareness of the specialty development.

Last year, Yen Bai province farmed 120,000 ducks of this breed in Tran Yen, Van Yen, and Mu Cang Chai districts and reaped encouraging initial outcomes.
