69,000 poultry farms with a radius of 10 km in the farm
Jeollanam-do Province,
A case of bird flu in the eastern region of South Jeolla Province has occurred and an emergency has occurred to the authorities.
The H5 strain of AI virus was confirmed on June 19 when a sample of the 600 ducks were reported to have been killed by a Korean duck farm in Yongbang-myeon, Guryem-gyeon, Korea.
This is the 8th in Jeonnam this year and the 4th in the region.
Prosecutors have dismantled all 7,200 ducks in the farm, and decided to dispose of 39,000 poultry that were still being raised at four farms within a 500-meter radius.
At present, there are 264,000 poultry in 50 farms outside the 500-meter radius, 204,000 farms in 9 farms and 47 farms within 10 km.
In the province, only seven cases of AI, including four cases of Naju, one case of unsanction and one case of long wallet, occurred in just one month since the first confirmation of AI in Haenam on the 16th of last month.
Six of the cases were H5N6-type, and the H5 virus was detected on a duck farm in Nampyeong-eup in Naju City on June 16.
The provincial authorities are investigating epidemiologic studies on the possibility of horizontal hepatitis among the farms, although the existing AI-producing farms concentrated in the western region, but in the eastern region and in the vicinity of the Gurye District, there are no migratory birds.
In Chonnam, which failed to prevent the spread of early AI, 360,000 chickens and ducks have been disposed of to date.
Yeosu and Gwangyang provinces, which have not been infected with AI virus yet, are not slowing down.
In particular, Yeosu City urgently supplies 300 lime to Yulchon, Sora and Hyeongyang, where 650,000 birds are kept in close contact with each other. In addition to strengthening cooperative control activities by cooperating with livestock farmers, .
