PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1. The project urgentness Recently, bird flu (avian influenza H5N1 virus) has brought about serious consequences and great loss to Vietnam’s poultry. Besides economic damage, imbalance in poultry breeding and possible loss of rare genes, bird flu directly transmit to humans, thus causing death. Ha Tay was the first province to have bird flu, followed by two provinces, Tien Giang and Vinh Long, bird flu spresd widely all over the country. By the end of January and early February, 2004, 381 districts, 2.558 communes of 57 provinces and cities in Vietnam suffered from bird flu. General estimation shows that the total number of dead and burned poultry is 38 million, accounting for 15,1% Vietnam’s domestic pouls, including 50% fowls, 30% ducks and geese, 20% birds. The estimated loss reached 3.000 billion VND (Source: VEPA, 12 March, 2004). More dangerously, bird flu virus H5N1 is a threat to human’s living environment, health and lives, 19 people caught bird flu, out of whom 11 people were dead (Source: WHO, 11 Feb, 2004). At poultry burned areas, environmental pollution caused after bird flu is an urgent problem to the community. Poultry breeding is a traditional occupation in Vietnam’s countryside, make a great contribution to the economic portion of agriculture. Moreover, it provides main income in cash for farmers. Therefore, bird flu adnersely affected Vietnam’s economy in wich 75% of the population work in agriculture. Surplus value in poutry breeding in 2003 was approximately 0,6% of GDP, equivalent to 232 million USD per year. If poultry breeding and consumption is completely stopped for 6 months, the income loss wil reach to 0,3% of GDP, equivalent to 116 million USD. To control bird flu, perhaps Vietnam will have to burn 250 million fowls and other poultry, thus the damage will be 650 - 700 million USD, equivalent to 1,8% of GDP, not incuding other kinds of damage (Source: World Bank, Vietnam Office, 2004). Due to lack of hygrine and poor prevetion of the epidemic came from a breeding household and spread in a large scale. One of the reasons is bacteria 3 and viruses appearing from poor santitation of hen - coops. At present, the flu epidemic caused by virus H5N1 still exit in some districts, creating many difficulties to the development of agriculture, negative impact on human health and environmental pollution. Therefore, a proposal on measures to overcome these difficulties will actively contribute to preventing and avoiding the speading of the epidemic. 2.2. The socio-economic situation of the community in project area The project is proposed to be implemented in Thanh Binh commune, Chuong My district, Ha Tay province. This is province in the Red River Delta, where economic households are developing, especially in poutry breeding. In area, there are now 65 poultry farms with scale over 6.000 fowls, 31 poultry farms with scale over 4.000 fowls and hundeds of other facilities. Chuong My district in particular has 25 poultry farms, with employ 113 people and are invested 4.018 million VND a year, creating a revenue of 1.671million VND in goods and services and a annual income of 808 million VND, not to mention thousands of facilities with scale less than 2.000 fowls, creating jobs for the workforce, providing stable income, increase productivity effectiveness in the province (Source: DARD- Hà Tây, 2004). Thanh Binh is a commune in Chuong My district with large scale poultry breeding wich is typical for the coordination between breeding households and corporations, so as to develop a stable market of agriculture goods for local people. It is this commune where a Thailan company, Charaoen Pokphand is situated and the flu epidmic was first detected. Before that, Thanh Binh previously developed by only agriculture with main income from cultivation and small - scale breeding aiming to get muck for cultivation. However, low productivity led to alot of difficulties for local people. Since breeding corporations built in the district cooporate with breeding households by industrial methods in factories with a investment in race, food and product consumption, poutry breeding in Thanh Binh has growed fastly, creating breeding farms. Presently the commune has 50 breeding households cooperating with factories, including 10 breeding 4 households with from 5.000 to 8.000 fowls, qualified to farm - scale and have some households breeding egg-laying hen and brood eggs. Reaserch shows that most of breeding householders at the age of between 31 and 45 have finished secondary education and some of them are cadres in villages and commune. The number of people working in large breeding farms are from 3 to 5. Most of them work permanently but few work tempority. The development in poultry breeding not only has brought wealth to households but also has provided job there, thus contributing to the economic development of the whose commune, creating the basic for a change in the thought on market oriented production so as to increase the economic proportion of agriculture in Thanh Binh in particular an Ha Tay province in general. 2.3. Environmetal problems in the project area 2.3.1. The breeding process of households Because most of the households have contracted and worked for a Thai joint stock company so the breeding scale is large and the method is industrialized. Each breeding facility is from 80 to 300 square meters in area. Most of them are buit with two storey in order to enhance the effectiveness in using the land. The num ber of fowls are between 2.000 and 10.000 in a facility, most of households raise from 4.000 and 6.000 fowls. Before starting the cycle of breeding, the facilities should be cleaned, spreading out a nilon cloth and scatter a rice husk layer with 5 to 7 cm deep. The farmer collect all waste from breeding process include rice husk muck, urine of fowls and sell them. Therefore, there are no solid waste appear in breeding process. Water trough system for fowls drink is closed, so no wase water appear. So that the farmer only care for water quality use for fowls drink. The facility is closed, the air inlet by governor valve to supply to breathe, the blower is oporated all day to outlet air and dust ( figure 1). The temperature is controlled by electric lamp system. The cycle breeding vary 5 from 45 to 60 days, after each cycle the farm is emptied about 15 to 25 days to clean facility. Picture 1: Blower system attract air and dust outlet from poultry farm (inllustration figure) 2.3.2. Emering Environmental problems From this process mentioned above, potential environmental issue are water used in breeding, odor and dust. Water used in breeding: This is a dangerous source in breeds, according to an investigation (author), 77,8% households have used water from deep wells and 22,2% from drilled wells. Although there is no analysis on these trends of water, households working for joint stock company will be provinded with a chemical to deordize the water before fowls drink, this shows that the water is not qualified. Odor in breeding: This is such a complicated issue in fowls breeding that both investors and households haven’t found and satis factory solutions. Odor is also source of disease and environmental pollution appearance. Odor is arised in disintegration process solid waste and the component are HN3, H2S, Mercaptan, some bacteria and other matters. All of odor eliminate to surrounding, they are the causes of epidemic diseases for fowls, direct workers and communities. At the moment, there are not posible 6 method to deodorizer. In the past, they are used bacteria called EM to deodorizer but have no effective. If odor can be solved, it is a great progress in industrial-scale poultry breeding. Dust in breeding: Dust in poultry breeding is also a serious problem because of their effecting to living environment, it eliminate to surrounding with air by blower system. Box 1: Nowaday, there are no treatment for odor and dust from the facility, some households in village have to use fiberboard to make a simple chimney to eliminate effect to their near neibought but it effect to far area. He affraid of the complain because he don’t known what should he do and he can not stop his work. My blower system is toward a garden and it can not cultivate and at the moment I have not method to solve it. (According to Mr. Tran Ba Pho, a owner of fowl farm in Thanh Binh, Chuong My, Ha Tay) Although, to solve the dust arise from farms is not difficult but at the moment, the breeding households are not advised from asperts. So they don’t have any method to prevent pollution. There are many legal problems if don’t have effective methods. Now, there are some household rent areas where have no population to create farm, but it is not optimal method. In general, pollution arise from breeding is becoming a serious issue with local government, investors, households and community. This is a cause of bird-flu effection in past time, it affect to breeding’s benefit and health for human. So, to promote a general model to treat environment pollution in poultry breeding is neccessary for now and future. 2.4. Project justification The project is intended to implement at a poultry breeding farm with a capacity of 6.000 fowls/batch in Ha Tay province where there are many fowl breeding farms existing. Breeding faciities and procedures of breeding farm are mentioned above. This farm will be installed ten (10) ventilation fans for odor and dust reduce so to analyse wastewater, air quality and air flow is 7 neccessary processes. These data reflect all growing periods of fowl because the more a fowl grow the more odor and dust generated. Combining capacity of the farm and analyses data a comprehensive treatment system including supplying water, odor and dust treatment will be designed and installed. Ozone technology is applied for treating water and odor and bag filter is appied to remove dust in the air. The system will be simply designed inoder to all farmers can operate and it doesn’t produce secondary waste. The model of system includes 2 parts + Part 1: supplying water and odor treatment by ozone technology + Part 2: dust collecting by bag filter 2.4.1. Technial sellection Ozone technology: Ozone (O3) is a gas with special odor. It is recorgnized in 1781 by MV. Marum (Holland) when he smelled it in the air after electric sprak happened. Its chemical fomula was established by C.F. Schonbein (Germany) in 1840 and name of ozone is originated from Greek character “Ozein” it means that bad smell. In natural, ozone is known as a gas that makes a layer to protect our earth from some ultra-rays such as ultra-vioet. The deepth of the layer can be reach to 25 km called Stratoshere it cover around the earth and protect our living by asorbing all ultra- rays with the wavelengs from 0,12-0,29 µm. In technical and technological fields, ozone is known as a strong sterilization agent and used very popular in the world. The main areas are to sterilize water, air, and etc. From the year of 1980s to now, the application areas of ozone have been rapidly growing and its benifit obtained more greatly. Recent years ozone generator- machines are very popuar and low price so it is widey appied for air, suppy water and wastewter treatment. In Vietnam ozone has appied to clean air, sterilized and preserved fruits and vegetables, steriized hospitals and laboratories, etc. In this proposal project ozone is used as following reasons : - Ozone can clean (treat) not only water but also air (odor). Until now this is only one method available in market can clean both environment: water and air at the same time. 8 - This method has many advantages such as: low investment cost; simple structure; automatic operation, long life-span, low operation and maintainant cost. These is highly accepable by farmers. - The ozone system can be compacted in small space. It requires small area for installing and it can be hang up againts the farm walls. - High effectiveness. All type of viruses or bacterium can be killed by ozone so it minimizes the transmition and infection of fowl diseases. - No use chemicals, no secondary waste. These meet all sustainable deveopment objectives of agricutural industry’s development. - It is advandced, environmental- friendly and prospect future technology. Bag filter technology : as mentioned above another pollution source is dust, it generated from fowl farming waste. Dust if not collected it will effect to surrounding environment, especially effect to community’s health. There are many methods to collect dust exsiting but bag filter is selected for many advantages : - Simple structure and operation ; low cost and suitable for collecting by ventilation fans. - Flexible, high effectiveness - Environmental- friendly technology and safe for users (farmers) 2.4.2. The system discription The model system incudes 2 parts (modules). They operate saperately but unite in one system. First part is ozone generator for sterilizing supplying water and breeding farm, second part is bag filter for colecting dust. Both of them can solve all environmental problems of folw breeding farms Part 1: ozone generators for sterilizing supplying water and breeding farm. The system includes an ozone generators group (figure 2), number of ozone generators depend on breeding farm’s scale incuding folw number and farm area. 9 Figure 2. Model of ozone generators group (inllustration figure) According to our conculating, a breeding farm with an area of 200 m2 requires 7 ozone genrators, in which 6 generators use for odor reducing and 1 generator uses for water sterilizing. Six (6) ozone generators using for odor reducing, they work in shifts for onger life-span. It means that 3 generators are operating while the rest (3 generators) are on stanby condition. The operating duration from 2 to 4 hours. Figure 3. Poly-ethylene pipe system (inllustration figure) 10 Generator’s capacity depends on polutants (contaminants) inside the farm, this can decided after analyzing air samples. Input for ozone generators is normal air. Ozone generated will distribute regularly all surface of the breeding farm by poly- ethylene pipe system. It means that the concentration of ozone inside the farm is the same at anywhere. The pipe system or can be fixed on the walls or hang on the proof of the farm (see figure 3). Ozone generator for water sterilizing operates or automatically or manually and ozone generators for odor reducing operate automatically. All generators are controlled by one Electronics control board (see figure 4). Figure 4. Control chamber of ozone generators group (inllustration figure) By oxidation capacity, ozone can react with all substances that makes odor inside the farm to produce nontoxic and inodor substances. From the result of an research shows that ozone can deodorize bad smell caused by H2S. the quantity of ozone for deodorizing is 2 mg O3 per 1 mg H2S. Regarding NOx, NH3, and organic substances containing amino (-NH2), ozone can react to produce nontoxic substances such as Nitrate or Hydroxyte, etc. By Laplaich (1982), ozone can react with that substances to produce nontoxic substances due to electric attraction proccess. Firstly, ozone molecule have got one electric (e-) from Nitrogen, then an intermediary reaction happened (O3+N*) to produce NH2-OH and other substances. This is machanism for detoxication and deoderization processes caused by Nitrogenous and Ammonium substances. On the other hand, ozone can kill viruses and bacteriums living in the air inside breeding farm by destroying cell structure in concentration from 10 to 20 ppm in 7 to 10 minutes . So all 11 type of adverse viruses and bacterium incuding infuenza virus Type A H5N1 to be eliminated from the air if ozone exsiting. Operation procedure of ozone system : end of ozone pipe is 2m higer than farm floor. It makes sure that ozone will be completely self-disintegration at the high of 0.5m on floor (time for completely self-disintegration of ozone is 5 seconds). By the way of ozone pipe arrangement, fowls avoid advers effects by ozone. Pipes are arranged at the same distance as figure 5. 2 5 3 1 4 6 Figure 5. Ozone pipe arrangement inside breeding farm (horizontal section) Air is injected into breeding farm by a one-direction pipe system (pipe installed with one- direction valve) (see figure 6), then sucked outside the farm by fans. At the same time, ozone generator group will produce ozone. Depending on concentration of substances, viruses, bacterium, the concentration of ozone will be adjusted. And the effectiveness of this system for sterilizing can be reach to 90-95%. In water, ozone can be mixed by Otto, Van derWall, Chlorator processes to make a solution (liquid) that is useful for sterizing. At the concentration of ozone around 0.5 mg/l in solution, it can destroy almost living cells and finally, this water is safety for breeding fowls. Part 2: bag filter for dust collecting. As mentioned above, a lot of dust is generated from breeding farm. Until now at almost farm, dust is discharged directy to asmostphere without any treatment processes. It makes some adverse effect to community. 12 7 6 3 8 4 5 11 10 9 1 - Ozone generators group 2 - Electronics control board 3 - Ozone distribution pipe (deodorise) 4 - Ventilation fan (air and dust outlet) 5 - Water trough system 11 - Breeding farm 1 2 6 - - Ozone distribution pipe (water sterilization) 7 - Water tank 8 - Air inlet pipe 9 - Water pump 10 - Water well Figure 6. A model to solve odor, noxious bacteria and water sterization in breeding farm The technology recommended is bag filter. It consist of several textile bags with diameter from 125 to 300 mm and the length is 2000 to 3500 mm. 13 Capacity and hold’s size of bag filter can be adjusted upon quantity and size of dust generated inside the farms (see figure 7). Dust will be keep inside textile bags and clean air discharges to the asmostphere, after a period of operation dust is collected from bags and treated properly by incinerating or dumping. For continuoustly operation, 2 bag filter systems will be installed for one farm. They work in shifts, one working and one standby.

Scheme of bag filter ssystem for breeding farm The most important factor for bag fiter system is to conculate the surface area and obstacle of bag filter inodor to not effluent to ventiative fans. The area of bag filter can be conculate by equatation as following (Tran Ngoc Chan, 2001): S S1 S 2 L1 L 2 S 2 (m 2 ) q 14 Where : S1, S2 are area of bag filters (m2). L1, L2 are fow of air that can be filtered (m3/minute). q is capacity of fiteration of bag filter (m3/m2.minute).

Overal model system of fowl breeding farm using ozone technology 15 2.4.3. Investment and operation cost Investment cost consists of part 1 and part 2 cost. This mainly depends on the scope of breeding farm. The table below is the cost for a farm with capacity of 5000-8000 fowls. No Items Price (VNĐ) Quantity Cost (VNĐ) 1 Ozone generators 7 Pieces 2.500.000/piece 17.500.000 2 Bag fiter 2 system 3.000.000/system 5.500.000 3 Pipe system (by estimation) 2.500.000 4 Others Carriage, fit up 500.000 5 Total 26.000.000 With bigger scale farms, it need to install from 2 to 4 more ozone generators and investment cost increases to 5 or 10 mill VND. By quick survey, this cost is quite low and acceptabe by farmers. Box 2: At present, many breeding farms are using supply water system to fowl by automatic float, when water comes enough to water trough, the float automatically closed. By this way, water is often effected viruses and bacteriums from fowl waste inside the farm. Recently, there are a equipment to supply water by valves, water is ony supply to fowls when they using their beak to take water from valves after that water is closed imediatey this prevents to produce wastewater and investment cost for one system is about 20 to 25 mill.VND and farmers is exchanging this technology but the air quaity is uncontrolled. By ozone technology, the cost is about 30 mill VND, is not ony sterilize suppy water but also clean the air inside the farm. It would be accepted by farmers by its high quality but low investment and operation cost. (According to Mr. Tran Ba Pho, a owner of fowl farm in Thanh Binh, Chuong My, Ha Tay) Operation cost : Operation cost mainly are electricity for ozone generators and fans working, but at very low capacity. This is the biggest advantadges of the 16 technology. Depending on the scale of farm the capacity of ozone generators and fans will be decided. By investigation the mean concentration of ozone will be from 3500 to 5000 mg/hour equal to a power capacity from 75 to 100 W/hour. And fowls from 7 to 21 day old, amout of ozone need for them is 42000 to 60000 mg equals to 12 hours ozone generators working. It means that at the begining of fowl’s batch the cost for operation is very low. As mentioned above, totally 6 ozone generators but they work in shifts so operation cost for one day is (with the price of 1000 ND /1 KW): 3 (generators) x 100 (W/hour) x 24 (hours) x 1000 (VNĐ/1000W) = 7.200 VNĐ In one month : 7.200 VNĐ x 30 days = 216.000 VNĐ Cost for ozone generator for steriizing water for 1 month: (nomally it operates 1 time every 2 days for 2 hours) 15 (times) x 2 (hours) x 100 (W/hour) x 1000 (VNĐ/1000W) = 3.000 VNĐ Total cost for 1 month operation: 216.000 VNĐ + 3.000 VNĐ = 219.000 VNĐ This cost is very cheap and much lower than others technology. This is the best alternative for farmers to protect their fowl farms and improve their income. 2.4.4. Payback period As conculation above, investment cost for the system is 26 mill. VND. Payback period (PB) is time (year or month) needed to refund or get cost of future (CF) equals to the investment cost (I). So PB = I/CF Where : PB : payback period (year or month) I: investment cost (VND) CF : cost of future (VND) 17 Every 45 to 60 days, a batch of fowl will be finished, and time of breeding farm preparation (free) for next batch is 25 days to 30 days. So in one year, farmers have 4 fowl batches. By using ozone technology the time for preparation is reduced to 5 or 7 days and time for breeding increases from 60 to 96 days equals to 1.3 batches. One batch farmer has a income app. 18-22 mill VND (with capacity of 5000-6000 fowls), so the cost of future is : CF = 20.000.000 (VNĐ) x 1,3 (batch) = 26.000.000 (VNĐ) Payback period: PB = CF/I = 26.000.000 (VNĐ/year) : 26.000.000 (VNĐ) = 1 year So the payback period is 1 year. But the most valuable benifit the farmer can get is their fowls can growing healthy and no threaten caused by virus or bacterium for the breeding farm. 2.5. Problems that the project aims to solve and the rational Socio - economic - environment problems that the project find solutions to are: + Bird flu problem At present, bird flu haven’t been completely eliminated. Sources of the epidemic still exits, thus potentially causing serious consequences in term of human live, economy and local people’s life. No optimal measure have been found out to eliminate the epidemic the number of domestic fowl with H5N1 positive haven’t been burned all. Their movement is not under control. The epidemic is more likely to occur when goose raised at field in Vietnam Southern part. All means of communication have non urgently mentioned this problem. One of the project objectives is to prevent the epidemic, including virus H5N1, If breeding households use the project management system, they are surcly free from all diseases in general and the epidemic. In particular 18 ozone as a strong sterilization will kill all harmful viruses and bacteria before attacking the poultry. At the epidemic stricken areas, this is a preventing measures after burning the poultry, ozone will destroy all viruses and thus help avoid the speading of the epidemic. + Stabilization the domestic fowls in breeding Statiatics mentioned above show the great contribution made by poultry breeding in the economic development in agriculture as well as in farmer’s living standard. There are more and more dangerous diseases threat to beak breeding mechanism, and cause adverse impact on the economy. Therefoce, preventive measures are in great need. Some sources of disease are drinking water and virus affected food. However, food is safe because of being produced in industrial method, so the main soure lies in water. The project propose using ozone to sterilize water. This will help breeding households to prevent effectively diseases and protect the poutry, thus maintain stable breeding process. + Odor pollution in poutry breeding As we have seem odor pollution is an urgent problem in breeding farms. Odor not only adversely affect the health of domestic fowls obstruct their growth process but also cause diseases and reduce production effectiveness. Moreover, odor pollution affect directly the health of farmers and local people in breeding areas. The project will successfully solve this problem by using ozone generators to remove odor. This is an advantage of the project because there is no solution to odor polltion, with low cost in invesrment and operation suitable to economic condition of breeding holders. + Dust polltion in poutry breeding Dust is not a major problem in poutry breeding, but cause difficulties to breeding households and other neighbouring households. The project propose filter bage technology to solve this problem, with is a clean simple technology with low cost and low investment in facilities and without using energy in operation, thus reducing cost in poutry breeding. 19 + Encouraging the community to control polltion Environmental pollution such as odor and dust from breeding farms has become an urgent need to breeding households and the local population. However due to the lack of appropriate measures and technologies, these households usually avoid responsibility or use backwad method without long-term effect. Implementing the project will help the local community be aware of the advantages of protecting the environment and strengtheming the pollution control. + Applying clean technology and sustainable development in poultry breeding. Since Vietnam government built the Agenda 21 on sustainable development, all forms of economic development must take into account environmental protection and sustainable development. Emourageing the use of technology friendly to environment will both stop discharges waste and save energy and resources. Implementing the project will be a typical example for using clean technology, friendly to the environment, saving energy without using chemicals in processing and creating sub wastes. This can be considured as a break though in applying advanced technology in poultry breeding. 2.6. Innovative of creativeness of project + Propose a appropriate solution to prevent reappearance of Avian influenza caused by H5N1, whos is an urgent problem non. + Propose using clean technology, friendly to the environment in poultry breeding. + Raise awareness of the harmful effect of population and environmental protection in agriculture, a sector is paid little attention to, creating a basis in encouraging the community to control pollution and socialising environmental protection in rural areas. + Propose the use of ozone, a technology is expected to be most widely applied in environmental protection in the 21st century. 20 + Propose a model in solving completely pollution in breeding farm. + Propose advanced technologies in order to protect the environment with low cost and long-term impact, suitable to hoseholds. + Apply automatic technology of facilities, thus reducing the out of date technology used by farmers. + Create a change in farmer’s awarness of advanced scientific and techniques, thus encouraging them to raise production effectiveness in industrialisation of agriculture. 2.7. What is the target group + Households of breeding farm This is one of the target groups of the project. Households of breeding farm are the most affected. They lose their efforts in breeding, investment in infrastructure but they are also affected legally and in term of health. If the project is implemented, breeding households will be benifited as follows : - Ensure that the sanitation of breeding farms match with environmental standrds registered with investors and administrators. - Increase productivity and profits in breeding. - Avoid potential legal problems relating to environment and profestional diseases to farmers which can cause deaths. + Population community with breeding farms This is one of the target groups of the project. Possible environmental problems and diseases will directly affect their lives. They can’t work in dust areas and have to suffer from odor, threat to get diseases. The project will help to avoid this bad effects. + Investors in breeding This is one of the target groups of the project. Potential environmental problems and discases will lose all of their investment in breeding households. Is these issues are solved, investors will gain such advantages as: 21 - Ensure that the sanitation of breeding farms match with environmental standards registered with administrators. - Increase profit and effectiveness in investment. - Avoid potential legal problems relates to environmental pollution. + Local administrators Bad im pact in poultry breeding will break economic sector structure and strategies. Moreover, legal problems, environmental problems and community health, and other socio-economic impact will emerge. The project will restrict these problems. 2.8. The criteria making the project success A successful project must secure all economic, social and environmental factors. However, the most important factors are to meet the urgent needs of users, to increase productivity effectiveness and to raise income of project implementors. Follwing is the criteria making the project success: + Successfully preventing and avoiding the emergence of birth flu (virus H5N1) in poultry breeding, which there is no the optimal measure. + Solving odor and dust pollution from breeding processing that investors and breeding households not any solutions. + Providing sterilized water used in breeding in order not to cause diseases thought digestion. + No use chemicals, no secondary waste, friendly to environment and sustainability, and they are strategies of technology in 21st century. + Simple system not taking a large are to set up and with automation in all steps of operation, easy to use. + Low cost (approximately 25 to 35 million VND each system, depend’s on the size of breeding fawms). + Short payback period (about 1 year), long life-span of equipment, low cost of spare-parts. 22 + Shorten the interval between two periods of breeding, increase producting effectiveness and raise breeding households’s income. 2.9. Program questions 1. Impact: what is the expected socio-economic impact of the project on the target group? - The project is operating, there are greate effecting results. This is the best method to prevent relapsing of bird flu, environmental protection after epidemic and sustainable development in breeding field. As mentioned, over three months (2004) total number of dead and burned poultry is 38 million, the estimated loss reached 3.000 billion VND, additional bird flu infection to human, thus causing death. Besides, if poultry breeding and consumption is completely stopped for 6 months, the income loss wil reach to 0,3% of GDP, equivalent to 116 million USD. Therefore, this project is not only recover and developt breeding field but active effect to social - econmic development in bird flu stage as well. In tradditional, benefit is the most important thing with households. If project is operated, the poultry will be protected so reduced the risk of breeding and increasing profit. So that, they will realize advantages from hygiene factility and it will change their knowledge about environmental protection in breeding. Besides, they avoid legal problems from pollution. With local government and communities, knowing advantages from this project, encourage the households breeding in applied this model. It push the work through socialization protecting environment in their behaviour. 2. Replicability: How could the project be replicated in other geographic areas or communities? This project useful for pollutant treament in bredding facilities, and can be applied in all local in Vietnam. In tradditional, with simplified structure, not waste much space for construction, easy for built-up and using. This model will be comercial products when it work successful and the project will be replicated in other geographic areas or communities. 23 III. PROJECT OUTLINE Depend on the fundamental theories, ozone is very powerful to destroy odors, bacteria or viruses by oxidation in air and water. Many research show that it useful to different environments and conditions. So that, this technology applicated widely in the world to wastes treament proccessing. In the past, it almost used for industries, but nowaday it is widely applied for agirculture such as food processing, food storage, odor abatement, groundwater remediation and drinking water purification… This project is the newest model in Vietnam, therefoce to satisfied the real conditions, we need results of experimentation. So in planning implement, the author focus on analysis results of experimentation to find out optimal effective working. Working period estimate six months including two stages: the first stage is analyse parameters in environment including air, water, dust, odor, bacteria…; the second stage is analyse these parameters environment after proccessing of this model. Planning and time implement is estimated : - Collecting and assay specimens through stages of cycle breeding, operating in pilot (60 days). - Design system depend on data and results experimental. - Built-up, testing system, collecting and assay specimens to evaluating effective of model (60 days). - Establishing workshop to collect information from experts, choosing optimal capacity for each stages with specific-scale (30 days). - To publish the standard model system. IV. BENEFICIARIES AND PARTICIPANTS 4.1. Who will benefit from the project and how will these benefits be realized? The households, investors and communities will receive benefit from successful results of project. To examine the effective of project, I will applied 24 this model for a the real poultry farm with breeding-sacle 6.000 fowls at Thanh Binh commune, Chuong My district, Ha Tay province, that agree with my project experiment on his farm. There are three main labours (a man and two women) and two childen in this farm. It is the main fundamental to propose capacity of calculation, design and operating conditions. 4.2. How and to what extent will the beneficiaries participate in the implementation of the project? He agree with my project experiment on his farm, supporting for coordinators of project in implement stage and supplying neccessaries information. 4.3. What will be the beneficiaries’ future participation when the project has been completed? Introducing and propagating model and it’s effective to other households in his living area and response the project’s effective to breeding investor 4.4. How will the implementing agency maintain project results and assume responsibilities after completion of the project? When the project will be done, I will co-operate with responsibilities people at local government and investors in breeding to promote the application of this model. And then commercialize this system to reduce it’s cost and easier to build-up and using for farms. 25 V. PROJECT BUDGET 5.1. The project budget use VND 5.2.
