HELP of the VACCINE from the GOVERNMENT of the CENTRE 2008 was removed

Help of the vaccine from the government of the centre in 2008 was removed, the Service of Peternakan Kabupaten Blitar formed the team to carry out the monitoring of the development of the virus avian influenza or bird flu, in respectively the breeder.
Peternakan Kabupaten Blitar Hermanto Zubaidi Section Head during it was confirmed said, following the existence of the abolition of help of the vaccine in the Blitar Regency by the government of the centre from 2008, to mengatisipasi the spreading of the virus avian influenza or bird flu that uptil now attacked several areas apart from the Blitar Regency, Dinas Peternakan Kabupaten Blitar will increase the public's program awardness, by forming the team to carry out the management, assistance and the direct monitoring in the field in order to detects the development of the virus H5NI in the Blitar Regency.

Worried, if the spreading of the virus avian influenza as soon as possible was not anticipated, the economy of the breeder in the Blitar Regency was destroyed, in view of the fact that the Blitar Regency uptil now was known as the main supplier and the centre of livestock breeding in Indonesia, that was free from the virus avian influenza or bird flu.

The number of breeders of the thoroughbred chicken in the Blitar Regency entered the category of the biggest population in East Java, around 13 thousand breeders, covered the densely populated area of the livestock like in the Kanigoro Subdistrict, Talun, Kademangan, Udanawu, Wonodadi and Kesamben.

Re: Indonesia - Bird Flu in Poultry/Animals

Outbreak in poultry in East Java is spreading, reports from Blitar and now neighbouring Kediri.

Bird flu attacked Kediri

Kediri - the Plague of the spread of the bird flu virus increasingly spread.

After attacking thousands of poultries in Blitar, the illness that was spread by the virus H5N1 this began to enter the Kediri territory.

(Outbreak in Blitar, see previous post, # 130, # 131, #134)

Totalling 1013 tails of the poultry in the Pule Village, Kecamatan Kandat, Kabupaten Kediri was stated positive infected by the virus of Avian Influenza by the Kehewanan Service local.

Suspected this virus entered from the Blitar territory that was enough close to this village.

This AI attack was the first time known by Suyono, one of the chicken breeders in the Pule Village. Last June 22, one of his chickens died suddenly.
Only at intervals of three following days, totalling 108 quails his property also experienced same fate.

The resident's panic increasingly was at a peak when at least 1005 quails belonging to Agus, the neighbour Suyono that only be at a distance 50 metre died suddenly.

We at once reported this to the official of the Kehewanan Service.
Because several areas in Blitar began to be attacked, explained Suyono, in Kediri, on Monday (30 - 6 - 2008).

He said, the condition for the poultry that died this also had the characteristics of the characteristics that is the head was red, the cock's comb turned blue, and foot lined red.

This attack also was partial from one place to the other place.

In the meantime Kehewanan Kab Kediri Section Head, Sri Suparni said his side continued to try to eliminate the spreading of this virus.

Among them by carrying out the taking of chicken blood and rapid test.
From results of this inspection, was ascertained thousands of poultries that died this was positive infected by the AI virus.

We at once sprayed disinfectant in the location that was contaminated to prevent the spread to the other region.This was the first attack in 2008, he explained.

According to the Kehewanan Service data, the AI attack biggest happened in 2007.

At that time was gotten 49 villages in 20 subdistricts that were stated positive endemic the bird flu virus.

Re: Indonesia - Bird Flu in Poultry/Animals

Hat-Tip Influentia2
Wonosobo - After several times confronting it, the case of bird flu emerged again. This time the Wadaslintang Subdistrict territory was attacked. From 10 out of 17 chickens kept by Sugiono, a resident of RT 5 RW VIII Dusun Dadap Gede Kelurahan Wadaslintang Wonosobo, that died were infected by the H5N1 virus. Rapid test results by the Livestock and Fishery Service (Disnakan) the Wonosobo Regency showed positive bird flu.

However, the local community refused to have the extermination (depopulation) on the basis that compensation was too cheap. Alhasil, the official, then only carried out disinfectant spraying in the local village environment. Afterwards he monitored the development of the virus for 21 days since this case was found . If no poultry again died, he continued giving the vaccinations.

"We conferred with the community to carry out the extermination of the poultry. But the residents refused. So we only carried out spraying," explained the Community Health Head and Veterinarian (Disnakan), Doctor of Domestic Animals, the Driyono Examination, when contacted by the Semarang Radar yesterday.

When it was related that the fund was regarded as minimal by the community, his office could not do anything. He explained that it had been the decision of the Agricultural Minister to continue this compensation fund. Except when they had additional funds from the village or personal funds from the local village head. As in the case of Kades Pungangan Mojotengah who was willing to spend personal funds for additional compensation for poultry that was destroyed.

"The size of the compensation fund could not quicken brains again. Only just at the moment. For the big chickens Rp 15 thousand, while Rp 7500 and the child Rp 2500," he said.

After the chicken died in Dadap Gede, up to now they did not yet have the development that poultry had again died. This infected chicken was enabled from the poultry that was traded in the market. According to the Examination, the poultry traffic in Wadaslintang was high enough. Moreover the local community held the trade in the poultry at the edge of the road, there was no special market.

"On the wage market day, people transacted in the road."

They were enabled by the source of the spread from these poultries. Because of the number, it was difficult to be detected, he explained. The intensity of vigilance towards this virus continued to increase. Because almost all the subdistrict territories in the Wonosobo Regency had bird flu cases.

Prevent Sebaran of Bird Flu with the Batu Bara Briquette

On Tuesday, July 1 2008 | 17:25 of WIB
MAKASSAR
, on Tuesday - the Mining Service and Energy (Distamben) South Sulawesi currently develops the utilisation of the coal briquette that it was predicted could eliminate the spreading of the bird flu illness.
"This coal briquette, could turn off the virus H5N1 or the bird flu virus, this has been tested in an amount of livestock breeding in South Sulawesi," explained Andi Ashari Kepala Sub Dinas Pelatihan Distamben South Sulawesi in Makassar, on Tuesday.
The new stone briquette, he continued, was alternative energy to heat the temperature of the poultry that was bred in a pen.
His process, if uptil now the breeder only used glowing light to heat his poultry, especially for the piece chicken and the thoroughbred chicken, then the glowing light could be replaced by making the fireplace with coal under the livestock pen.

"Apart from heating the temperature" of the "livestock body, also could turn off the bird flu virus that attacked the poultry," he said.
Only, for the development of the coal briquette in the breeder's circle still was difficult to be covered, apart from the limitations of the coal raw material, also still were needing the touch of effective technology, so as his use was not wasteful and his price could be cheaper.
Responded to this matter, Peternakan South Sulawesi Arifin Daud Section Head said, the use of the coal briquette to turn off the bird flu virus could then.
However needed authentication and the analysis of further chemistry, so as keakuratan him could be accounted for.
"His matter if using coal in the level of that was abundant, could precisely caused the poultry to become crowded, so must know definitely how many of his compositions that were good," he said.
The similar matter was raised drh Kafil, Kabag Kesehatan of the Animal of Dinas Peternakan South Sulawesi.
According to him, uptil now that was worn to turn off the virus H5N1 was disinfektan.
Said by the content of coal energy that was known possibly just his positive effect that is could turn off the bird flu virus, but still must be researched further by the effect of his negative.
Because usually, each discovery had the positive effect and negataif.
"Be kept must be known by whichever effect more dominant, postif or the negative," he said.

<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width="100&#37;" align=center><TBODY><TR><TD>Weak communication plus poor border control
increase risks of avian flu

</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top width="100%"><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD class=news vAlign=top>Dili, 1 July 2008
Dili, 1 July 2008 – With little capacity to prevent avian influenza from crossing the border with the neighbouring Indonesian region of West Timor, officials in Timor-Leste are concerned about possible outbreaks.

The disease has not yet been reported in the country but, says Chana Opaskornkul, emergency coordinator of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Timor-Leste, “if it comes today, there is no chance we could do anything at all.”

According to the food agency, the best hope is a rigorous rural agricultural policy of early detection and culling of infected birds to prevent avian flu from spreading to humans.
In rural Timor-Leste, communicating information to help build awareness is a major challenge. Parts of the country are still without telephone coverage, roads are dangerous and transportation is unreliable.

Because most farmers have no access to veterinary services, these services often do not even know about deaths among chicken populations. In turn, farmers remain unaware of why their chickens die and they no access to facilities that could confirm the presence of avian flu. “In agriculture, there is no reporting, unlike in the medical system,” says FAO’s Opaskornkul.

In 2007, the ministry of agriculture launched an avian flu awareness campaign but it had only one agent on the ground in each of the country's 13 districts. Today, only five out of the 13 have been reached by the campaign. “We need to do more,” says Opaskornkul, “and the government definitely needs to hire people to do more outreach.”

Three years have passed since avian flu first struck Indonesia, which has the highest incidence of the disease in the world. In a 2006 outbreak, thousands of chickens died near Kupang, the major city in West Timor and capital of East Nusa Tenggara province in Indonesia. Kupang is just a one-day drive from Timor-Leste.

The country shares a 228km border with West Timor, but border posts are few and far between, and there is no fencing, leaving room for a flourishing black market in everything from oil and petrol to rice and chickens.

One of the problems is that the Timorese love cockfighting and smuggle their birds into the country, said border officials. “The cockfighting chickens are much cheaper in West Timor,” Ferreira told IRIN. “Cockfighting is the biggest threat. Those birds could lead to an outbreak of disease.”

This report is based on a report from IRIN.

The vaccine H5N1 that was prepared will not be used for all the poultry populations in the territory.

The chicken that would be treated with vaccine, said he, only healthy chickens and his age was still long.
This year of West Java prepared 43 million doses of the bird flu vaccine.
The stock came from help of the government of the centre, that is 18 million doses, and the rest of them from the budget of the province, 25 million doses.
However, help from the government of the centre just was sent by approximately 10 million doses.
"Now just had 35 million doses," said Rachmat.

Re: Indonesia - Bird Flu in Poultry/Animals

Well, logic would tell me - that if the chickens are not being helped with a vaccine, then they are back at square one. And without the help of control, in the poultry w/vaccine, then the problem spirals out of control.
Result: more poultry infected. More people exposed. More chances to mutate. More chances for infection in people.
