Pork represents more than 70% of meat consumption in Vietnam, and pig production
provides livelihood for more than 4 million small farmers in the country. Understanding
pork consumption behaviour is thus important for upgrading the pig value chains
in Vietnam. The study is conducted with 416 hous...

Streptococcus suis is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in
Vietnamese adults, and the major risk factors have been identified
as consumption of raw pig blood (Tiet canh), and occupational
exposure to pigs. Previous studies of S. suis prevalence in
pigs sampled from southern Vietnam have ind...
