Very shocked, Jiangsudongtai bird flu seems to have taken place, a large number of dead chickens in the flow of the national disease

Boxun Beijing on December 15, 2008

Very shocked, local governments Cover, the disease has a large number of dead chickens flows to the country (Ministry of Agriculture has recently been sent to the east of Taiwan).

Jiangsu Province, eastern Taiwan, large areas of dead chickens, dead chickens almost the flow of patients in major cities, as well as Shanghai, Shandong, Henan, and other places. Dead chickens slaughtered after an underground hideout, water treatment (hydrogen peroxide), after soaking, quick-frozen and shipped to the flow field, just east of the three stores in Southern Taiwan, Tang Yang North has processed more than a dozen, day and night, every day There are tens of thousands of dead chickens sent to patients across the country or frozen, wait until the Spring Festival market, probably in place of the cold, put a few 100,000.

Down to the Spring Festival, which flows to the market, people buy these bacteria with the chicken, if a major cause of food-borne diseases, which will lead to disastrous consequences. The country did not give a reply before the proposal to buy all the chicken carefully.

Playback of things:
Jiangsudongtai, chicken Hai town, home to visit relatives in recent days, there have been close to his home found a suspected outbreak of bird flu disease, the emergence of local chicken deaths of more serious, the Government's commitment to too little compensation or no compensation, the farmers of the heart They chicken a few dollars to the price and sell illegal experiences, processing them, sent to the country, only yesterday, I saw a dozen infected with the virus in chickens in a truck in Shandong. The spread of sarcasm that "the people of Shanghai and other cities for fear of heart after the price of chickens since cheap." As the saying goes, a good cheap goods not good good not cheap goods, I hope that we buy chicken, it is necessary to be more careful.
Some chicken farmers as a result of the earthquake, many farmers heavily in debt, therefore, dumping the family silver production, I understand that many of the farmers, at home, grief, I do not know how to think of the local government, farmers do not know the seriousness of the problem, local Not completely control the epidemic, some farmers, and bought some chicks, may cause a vicious circle.
If the channels through which the virus spread to other parts of the lead to disastrous consequences, which spread to almost get close to the city, I hope that the local government to the local people, the National People's responsible for taking the initiative to inform the community, not concealed, not to , To the 2004 national bird flu, died talents attention, I would like to pay attention to.

In fact, in our home in peacetime, has been a long time, and most of all chicken farmers, it is impossible not to dead chickens, the chicken's death, even for several days already, and even made a green (dead chicken for a long time), some of the small business Hawker In order to buy a dollar, to the illegal, a soaking liquid, after soaking message, use plastic packaging. Transported across the country. I would like to talk about the state of the dead chickens to investigate the whereabouts of the issue in the hope of national importance.

This thing almost happened about a good time, on December 12, I almost had to report the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture said a lot of people have been reported, probably will be a day or two to the east of Taiwan was, I would like to act impartially.
The country did not give a reply before the proposal to buy all the chicken carefully.

I would like to remind the hope that reporters requested the investigation:
1: Why do local governments to cover up these things.
2: These chickens died, to those places.

I am not a reporter, I am as a person with a conscience, in my personality that I can talk to me, liable.
I hope we put the top for the Government to speak out clear.

Sources say that over the last few weeks, there has been an outbreak
of possible avian influenza near Jiangsu's Haian and Dongtai
[counties]. Local chicken deaths are relatively serious. Egg
production has dropped sharply due to the outbreak. But because [the
outbreak] has not yet been confirmed by authorities, it is still
uncertain whether it is actually avian influenza. Area demand for
poultry feed has dropped under the impact of chicken deaths and
declining egg production.

Based on this correspondent's survey, similar outbreaks have not
occurred in Jiangsu's neighboring areas other than the above 2
places. It is hoped that poultry farmers will quickly take
precautionary measures.

China province culls chickens after bird flu found
Tue Dec 16, 2008 5:06pm IST

BEIJING (Reuters) - Eastern China's Jiangsu province has culled 377,000 poultry after laying hens tested positive for the H5N1 bird flu virus, the Ministry of Agriculture said on Tuesday, in the first reported case since the early summer.

Experts fear that the H5N1 virus, which can be contacted by humans, could spark a pandemic if it mutates to the extent that it can be transmitted easily among people.

The ministry said the virus, of the H5N1 variety that can spread to humans, was found during routine checks. No birds were reported sick, it added.

Bird flu is most common during the cool, damp winter. The virus turned up last week in a farm in Hong Kong, leading to the culling of 80,000 birds.

So far this winter, bird flu has killed two people, in Indonesia and Egypt, and made two people ill in Indonesia and Cambodia.

380,000 chickens killed in bird flu cull

From correspondents in Beijing
December 16, 2008 10:49pm

CHINESE authorities have begun destroying and vaccinating poultry after an outbreak of bird flu was discovered in the east of the country, the agriculture ministry says.
The deadly H5N1 strain of the virus was discovered on a chicken farm in Dongtai city and in another farm in Haian county both in eastern Jiangsu province, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website today.
The discovery prompted local agricultural authorities to step up vaccinations, while culling 377,000 chickens in the area around the farms.
The spread of the virus had not been detected in any other areas around the two farms, it said.
"Preliminary expert analysis from tests have found... The farm poultry could have been infected by migratory birds,'' it said.
The discovery in Jiangsu comes after an outbreak in Hong Kong, on the south coast of China, last week resulted in the slaughter of more than 90,000 chickens there.
Authorities in Jiangsu have also quarantined Haian county and Dongtai city and stopped the transport of all poultry and poultry products from entering and exiting the area, the ministry said.
Local agricultural officials were also stepping up disinfecting measures in the region, it added.
The outbreak was the first in mainland China since an outbreak was reported in Guangdong province, which neighbours Hong Kong, in June.
China's agriculture ministry warned last week of further bird flu epidemics in the nation during the winter months when migratory birds are in flight and weather conditions provide a good environment for the spread of the virus.
H5N1 has killed more than 200 people and ravaged poultry flocks worldwide since 2003, according to the World Health Organisation.
Scientists fear the virus will eventually mutate into a form that is much more easily transmissible between humans, triggering a global pandemic.
