Research orientation

1. Research on the current situation of diseases in livestock and poultry and effective disease prevention measures towards the eradication of dangerous livestock diseases in the Mekong Delta

This is a big problem for the livestock industry in the Mekong Delta that is the responsibility of the veterinary sector, especially CTU, to gradually study and solve. Activities include: epidemiological investigation; surveying pathological characteristics and pathophysiology; identifying the main causative agent and secondary causative factors; testing disease prevention and treatment procedures with vaccines, chemicals, and biological products; production of vaccines and antisera to treat diseases; developing a quick diagnostic kit for dangerous infectious diseases in the region; applying information technology in developing epidemiological maps; and applying biotechnology in the identification of microbial and parasite strains causing mutant diseases in the Mekong Delta region.

2. Research on the effective use of drugs for disease prevention and treatment, the persistence of drugs in animal products, the production of herbal substitutes for partial antibiotics in the treatment of animal diseases, and research on bacterial strains of disease-causing organisms that are resistant to antibiotics

Overuse of antibiotics, causing resistance along with antibiotic residues in animal products, is a big problem that needs to be researched and clarified in order to have measures to control and create safe products. for the health of consumers. Activities include testing, analysis, selective evaluation of potential herbs, analysis, extraction, testing, and mass production. Determine mutation points on pathogenic microorganisms and strains that are resistant to antibiotics, and analyze the level of danger of these strains to livestock and poultry.

3. Investigate environmental factors affecting livestock productivity and disease outbreaks, study waste treatment in livestock production effectively, and protect the environment.

Animal husbandry is one of the causes contributing to environmental pollution, causing negative impacts on livestock and especially the river environment of the community. Research to reduce environmental pollution from livestock in various forms has an important role in protecting the living environment of the community. Activities include analyzing, determining the influence level and allowable limit of each factor through testing, testing treatment measures, making practical applications, and evaluating effectiveness.

4. Research on toxic substances affecting animal health and biochemical factors from animal products affecting human health

Toxic substances from food, drinking water, the farming environment, preservatives, etc. make animal products unsafe for consumers. Researching and solving this problem is very important for protecting public health.

5. Application of biotechnology in the selection and breeding of livestock and poultry with disease resistance, contributing to raising productivity and efficiency of livestock production

Identify and analyze the influence of mutation sites on genes related to disease resistance of livestock, select and breed lines of cattle and poultry with disease resistance. Use of DNA chips in the identification of disease resistance genes
