Pangasius Farmers
• The industry is growing very fast- and has the potential to continue to do so!
• Previously predominately owner occupier- small farms-
• Consolidation is taking place- fast-
– 2 companies responsible for over 100kMT production/ export.
– 10 with over 500kMT

Success creates Issues!
Export production!
• Quality- growing focus on safety standards-
• Traceability
• Sustainability
• Profitability
Risks:
• Water use and quality
• Long List antibiotic compounds currently registered for use in Vietnam- few approved in importing countries for fish
• Positive release- accepted but not in line with EU production procedures
• Massive Use has led to resistance!

Vet Health Plans- Health management
• Diagnostic Capability-
• Tools for prevention and Treatment
• Integrated Approach
These are the key methodology- but can they be applied-
• Control of environment
• Control of feeding and feed
• Coordination between industry
• Knowledge based best practice
• Production driven or Efficiency Driven-

What is available?
Diagnostic Facilities
• University Labs- several universities have specialist Aquaculture and cat fish facilities
• Private labs- feed mills
• Farm Labs-
Treatments- yes many????
Prevention- some disinfection but….
No vaccines yet but……
