Completed incineration of over 150,000 bird flu birds in Himeji City
December 01, 11:29
Due to the bird flu that occurred in Himeji City in November, the prefecture announced on the 1st that the incineration of more than 150,000 birds at the incinerator in the city was completed.
On November 17, a highly pathogenic "H5N1" avian influenza virus was confirmed in chickens found dead in Himeji City.
Hyogo Prefecture has continued to incinerate at two facilities in Himeji City even after slaughter of about 156,000 chickens in the poultry farm and disinfection of the poultry house with the support of the Self-Defense Forces. Announced that it was completed at 6 am on the 1st.
So far, no outbreaks of bird flu have been confirmed in other poultry farms in the vicinity, so we will gradually lift the restricted areas to prevent the spread.
At midnight on the 3rd, the measures prohibiting the shipment of chickens within a radius of 3 to 10 km around the poultry farm were lifted, and at midnight on the 14th, the movement of chickens within a radius of 3 km was prohibited. We are going to cancel the measures we are taking.
The Hyogo Prefectural Bird Influenza Countermeasures Headquarters Secretariat is calling for "The treatment of the bird flu that has occurred this time is proceeding smoothly, but the season will continue until spring, so please continue to be vigilant."
