    Abstract


    Faced with the highly complicated situation of the African Swine Fever, this study aimed to provide solutions to stabilize livelihoods for pig’s farmers, through a stratified random survey of 60 pig-breeding households in September 2019, combining descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate linear regression. Results showed that the number of heavily affected households accounted for 43.3%; slightly affected households only 15%, and unaffected households 41.7%. The majority of farmers' information on the African swine fever was late, in July and August, accounting for 88.9%. The price decreased from 42 to 25 thousand VND/kg of live pigs. The African swine fever incidence was influenced by three factors, viz the number of employees involved inbreeding, the biogas system, and the African-swine-fever outbreak time. There were 81,67% of farmers who changed their livelihoods, mainly raising biosecure chickens and super meat ducks. The proposed solutions included encouraging the farmers to change their livelihoods according to local recommendations, loan and technology support, and people's participation; for pig maintaining households, their prevention would be carried out according to local guidelines, promptly updating disease information, restricting people to enter the breeding area, not using human leftovers for pigs during the epidemic season, and checking barn hygiene and Biogas systems.
