On the other hand, at the farm in Abashiri City, it was expected that the slaughtered birds would be buried and disinfected on the 19th, but the work was continued for 20 days because it took time to transport the buried objects. It means that it is.
"Abashiri's measures are nearing the end and are expected to be completed by the end of the day. The slaughter of Shiraoi is proceeding smoothly," Kazu Yamaguchi, director of the Ministry of Agriculture's Ministry of Agriculture's Safety Promotion Bureau, said at a press conference. I did.

[Confirmed as "H5N1 type"]

Avian influenza found at a poultry farm in Daisen City, Akita, which turned out to be a series of "H5N1 subtypes" nationwide.
4/21 (Thursday) 19:38

As a result of the prefecture's analysis of the avian influenza virus confirmed at the poultry farm in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, it was found that it is the "H5N1 subtype", which has been reported nationwide this season.

On April 18, a veterinarian at a chicken farm in Daisen City reported that the number of dead chickens was increasing, and subsequent tests revealed that it was a highly pathogenic "H5 type" avian influenza virus. When the prefecture further analyzed the sample, it was found to be "H5N1 subtype".

The "H5N1 subtype" has been confirmed in 11 prefectures such as Hokkaido and Aomori prefectures this season, and is a different type from the avian influenza virus confirmed in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture in 2021.

In addition, the prefecture started incinerating 374 slaughtered chickens at the Prefectural Central Livestock Hygiene Center in Akita City from the 21st. The work is expected to take about a week.

On the other hand, an emergency simultaneous inspection has begun for all poultry farms in the prefecture. From the viewpoint of virus transmission, we are not inspecting on-site, but are asking whether the prefecture is spraying slaked lime through FAX and whether outsiders are restricted from entering.
