The ministry has dispatched 22 tonnes of disinfectants, 9,300 protective suits and other epidemic-control supplies to help prevent animal diseases in the affected areas, according to the ministry on Monday.

It has also sent experts and officials to hard-hit regions for on-site guidance and problem-solving.

Efforts are underway to drain waterlogged farmlands, apply fertilizers to promote crop recovery, and replant or reseed fields where harvests have been completely lost. Meanwhile, proper disposal of dead livestock and poultry is being carried out to avert major animal epidemics.

The ministry is also repairing damaged facilities, transporting forage and veterinary drugs, and restocking livestock to minimize overall losses.
