Vietnam exports over 1,145 animal drugs

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam has 75 facilities producing veterinary drugs, all of which reach good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards.

There are 12,501 products made domestically or imported. Of these, 1,592 are for the fisheries sector, serving more than 80% of aquatic farms.

Vietnam has for the first time successfully produced a vaccine for type O foot-and-mouth disease to guard the health of about 20,000 heads of livestock a year. The vaccine has helped cut the spending of billions of Vietnamese Dong on imported vaccines annually.
