Sing Tao Global Network News: According to Korea Radio International, on the 10th local time, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock and Food said that the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was detected at a quail farm in Eunseong County, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea.

According to reports, as the weather gets colder, the highly pathogenic avian flu epidemic is showing signs of re-epidemic. This is the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry farms since the fall of 2021. There are no other poultry farms within 500 meters of the farm.

Since October, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock and Food has set the scope of preventive measures that can be taken in accordance with the degree of risk when a highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic occurs. As of the 11th, the benchmark for burial treatment is all poultry within 500 meters of the epidemic.

According to reports, suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have also appeared in the meat duck farm in Eumseong, Chungbuk, and the South Korean epidemic prevention authorities are conducting precise inspections.

A series of highly pathogenic AI outbreaks in poultry farms… Crisis alert 'severe'
Reporter Name Reporter Hyun-woo Lee Approval of Reporter Lee Hyun-woo 2021.11.12 19:19 Newspaper No. 3345 (2021.11.16) 6 pages

A series of highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks occurred in poultry farms.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) was confirmed at a quail farm in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, and a meat duck farm in the same area on the 11th. The meat duck farm is located within the quarantine zone (3km) of the quail farm, and highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed during the simultaneous inspection of the quarantine zone.

In addition, as a result of testing on wild birds living in Jeongeupcheon, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do on the 9th, following Gogyocheon Stream in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do (November 1) and Gobucheon Stream in Buan, Jeollabuk-do (November 2 and 3), highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed. As of the 11th, highly pathogenic avian influenza was found in two farms and three wild birds.

The problem is that the number of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Europe has been increasing since September, mainly with H5N1 type. After cross-infection of highly pathogenic avian influenza that occurred in Europe in Siberia, there are concerns about the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza into Korea through migratory birds in winter and the spread of contaminated areas. Currently, the types of avian influenza that have occurred in quail farms and wild birds are all H5N1 type.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs raised the avian influenza crisis alert to a serious level on the 1st and organized the Central Accident Management Headquarters to respond. In detail, surveillance, disinfection, and control of wild birds and major vulnerable facilities are being strengthened to detect and remove pollutants and prevent their spread. In addition, it is intensively promoting the importance of complying with farm quarantine rules and strengthening inspection of quarantine facilities to improve the level of quarantine and quarantine.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs also requested thorough disinfection by farmers, such as applying quicklime to the farm entrance, cleaning and disinfecting the farm every day, changing boots and disinfecting hands when entering and exiting the barn, and disinfecting the inside of the barn every day. Poultry farmers can report to the quarantine authorities (1588-9060/4060) when abnormalities such as mortality and decreased egg production are confirmed on the farm.

In this regard, Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom at a meeting of related ministries and local governments for highly pathogenic avian influenza said, "We will do everything we can to prevent the spread to other areas by promptly implementing quarantine measures in accordance with the Emergency Action Guidelines (SOP). Closely inspect the on-site quarantine situation to prevent blind spots from occurring,” he said.

Heavy Water Headquarters is implementing quarantine measures such as preventive slaughter, access control, and intensive disinfection on this farm.

Separately, a suspected case of highly pathogenic AI appeared at a meat duck farm in Damyang, Jeollanam-do.

High pathogenicity is expected to come out within 1-3 days.

The farm raises about 10,000 ducks.

Jungsubon urged "poultry farm officials to practice 'four-step disinfection of the farm' and not to enter migratory birds, small reservoirs, rivers, and farmland."

Approval 2021.11.24 10:05

[Cheonji Ilbo Sejong = Reporter Jinhee Lee] The 8th highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) occurred this fall.

On the 23rd, the Central Accident Response Headquarters for Highly Pathogenic AI announced that H5N1 type highly pathogenic AI was confirmed at the Duck Duck Farm in Damyang, Jeollanam-do. The farm raises over 10,000 ducks.

When a highly pathogenic AI is confirmed, the Heavy Water Headquarters immediately dispatches an initial response team to the site to carry out emergency quarantine measures such as access control to the farm, preventive slaughter, and epidemiological investigation. In particular, as most of the outbreaks of highly pathogenic AI farms occur in duck farms, related organizations are cooperating to strengthen quarantine management of duck farms.

When bringing ducks to the farm, the local government checks the quarantine and disinfection facilities in advance and only allows them if there are no abnormalities. Even if the facilities are insufficient, strict measures will be taken, such as imposing fines on farms that import ducks in accordance with related laws.

On the other hand, it was confirmed that the duck farm in Gangjin Shrine where AI occurred earlier and the beef duck breeding farm in Naju Seji did not follow the basic quarantine rules. Accordingly, Jeollanam-do imposed a fine for negligence and took measures to reduce the compensation for homicide.

Cheonan laying hens H5N1 type highly pathogenic AI confirmed…Additional suspicion in Yeongam
Special inspection of densely populated areas for laying hens..Egg loading center and farm side gates.

H5N1 type highly pathogenic AI was confirmed at a laying hen farm in Cheonan. In Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, a suspicious report was received from a laying hen farm, and it appears that AI damage is spreading to the laying hens.

The High Pathogenic Avian Influenza Central Accident Response Headquarters announced on the 5th that H5N1 highly pathogenic AI was confirmed at a laying hen farm in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do.

The farm, which has about 100,000 trees, reported suspected AI symptoms, such as an increase in mortality, to the authorities on the 3rd. As a result of a close examination by the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters, it was confirmed to be highly pathogenic.

This is the ninth occurrence in this winter, and the first in laying hens.

On the same day, a suspected AI axis was also confirmed at a laying hen farm in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do. The H5-type AI antigen was detected in a test conducted by the Jeonnam Animal Sanitation Laboratory following the farmer's report of death.

The farm located in Samho-eup, Yeongam is a laying hen farm with about 36,000 heads. The quarantine authorities prophylactically slaughter the chickens on the farm regardless of whether they are highly pathogenic or not, while restricting movement in the quarantine zone within a 10-km radius.

It was found that there was no other poultry breeding within 3km of Yeongam Farm.

As H5N1 highly pathogenic AI, which occurred sporadically in quail and duck farms early this winter, is spreading to laying hens, the authorities are taking special control.

From the 6th to the 9th, Jungsubon plans to conduct an emergency special inspection for full-time laying hens in 9 places with high concentration of laying hens nationwide and 16 cities and counties in special management areas.

The farm's disinfection procedure, the quarantine management of the egg loading area, the farm side entrance and the side door of the chicken house are the main inspection targets.

If highly pathogenic AI spreads horizontally through equipment such as vehicles, people, and pallets related to egg shipment, the scale of damage may increase.

The heavy water version recommends that the egg loading place be placed outside or near the farm entrance, and the high-pressure spray sterilizer is used to disinfect the egg transport vehicle and internal equipment whenever entering and leaving the farm.

The heavy water supply department urged, "Please mobilize all disinfection resources related to highly pathogenic AI and refrain from entering contaminated areas."
