(HBO) – Hoa Binh is stepping up the development of circular economy in a bid to tackle restrictions in the local animal husbandry sector.
T&T 159 livestock joint stock company is Hoa
Binh’s pioneer enterprise in developing the circular economy model in
livestock.
Vuong Dac Hung, deputy director of the
provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, stressed in recent
year, the local restructuring of the livestock industry has followed the
development of its quantity, quality assurance, and disease prevention and
control, especially regarding bio-secure livestock. The industry has applied
the circular economy model through the construction of biogas tunnels, the use
of biological buffers, and closed livestock production. These activities have
brought about high economic efficiency, reduction in environmental pollution,
and adaptation to climate change. Currently, the department is directing
localities to expand the area of biomass maize cultivation with the association
of many businesses to serve large-scale cattle raising.
The T&T 159 livestock joint stock company is
a typical enterprise of the province that creatively applies the basic
principles of a circular economy. Ha Van Thang, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the company, said it runs self-collecting scrap and agricultural
by-products complexes.
The company's concentrated breeding scale is
about 5,000 buffaloes and cows in each farm area. Every year, its farms and
production complexes use 30,000 tonnes of agricultural by-products as animal
feed, and produce 25,000 tonnes of microbial organic fertilizers.
According to the department’s statistics, the
use of biological buffers and biological products, and the construction of
biogas tunnels have been effectively applied by local businesses, farms and
households.
According to many households with animal farms,
the cost of building a biogas cellar is just around 2 million VND (87.28
USD)/m3. They use this gas to serve their daily lives, forming a new fuel to
replace conventional firewood that pollutes the environment.
In the coming time, in order to develop the
circular economy model in animal husbandry, sectors and localities involved
will continue implement the provincial resolutions, schemes and plans on
livestock production. The implementation covers the application of science and
technology, the strengthening of the State management of the livestock and
veterinary sectors, and the promotion of applying biological safety,
disease safety and environmental control measures in livestock production.
