    Abstract


    A random survey of 135 households from 6 communes in Thanh Mien and Cam Giang districts, Hai Duong province was conducted to determine the nitrogen emission and technical efficiency in pig production.The results showed that the education and experiences of the household heads andparticipation in agricultural extension activities had a positive effect on the technical efficiency of pig production. The factors such as the type and location of piggery have a positive influence on the technical efficiency. Moreover, the finishfarm householdshave lower technical efficiency than the farrow-to-finish farm househlods. It is thus recommendedthat the policy makers can refer to our results to help pig farmers improve their pig production performance. At the same time, stronger interventions from the government are needed to reduce the pressure ofpig wastesto the environment.
