Vietnam's southern Can Tho city has been stricken by foot-and-mouth disease, according to a local veterinary agency on Thursday.
The disease has recently affected 20 pigs raised by four households in the city's Ninh Kieu district, said the Department of Animal Health under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The city's Veterinary Bureaus has culled all infected pigs and detoxicated affected farms.
Under a national agriculture development plan approved by the government in 2005, Vietnam will, by 2010, have 35-40 million pigs, some 6.7 million bulls and cows and 2.8-3 million buffaloes.
