            High pathogenic AI confirmed at Boryeong native chicken farm… Poultry farms 'emergency' after consecutive confirmations

            2022.02.07. 20:22


            The highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) Central Accident Response Headquarters announced on the 7th that it was confirmed as H5N1 type as a result of a detailed poultry test on a native chicken farm in Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province. This winter, it is the 34th poultry AI confirmed farm.

            The farm is raising 42,000 native chickens, and the Heavy Water Headquarters dispatches an initial response team to the scene as soon as a suspicious animal is confirmed to take preemptive quarantine measures such as access control, preventive slaughter, and epidemiological investigation.

            As highly pathogenic AI has recently been detected and generated one after another in poultry farms and wild birds, a nationwide intensive disinfection week is held from this day to the 13th to remove contaminants that may exist in the farm environment and to prevent the inflow of pollutants into farms and livestock pens. We are strengthening quarantine measures such as disinfection.

            In order to prevent the occurrence of highly pathogenic AI, it urged livestock farmers to actively participate in the nationwide intensive disinfection, and recommended that intensive disinfection be carried out between 2 and 3 pm, when the disinfection effect is good due to the high temperature during the day...

                    Six poultry farms added highly pathogenic AI in two days
                    The acceleration of the outbreak in early February.. surpassed the total number of cases in January in 8 days

                    The occurrence of highly pathogenic AI in poultry farms is increasing rapidly.

                    According to the Central Accident Response Headquarters for highly pathogenic avian influenza, Boryeong native chicken (34th), Jincheon broiler duck (35th), Pyeongtaek laying hens (36th), Jeongeup broiler (37th), Jincheon bell duck (38th), Yesan quail ( 39th) H5N1 type highly pathogenic AI was confirmed in a farmhouse.

                    On February 7 and 8, only 6 farms were added.

                    All of these were reported by farmers who confirmed suspicious symptoms such as increased mortality and decreased egg production. As a result of close examination, it was confirmed as H5N1 highly pathogenic AI.

                    In February, 11 highly pathogenic AI cases occurred in poultry farms. It has already surpassed the number of cases in January (9 cases).

                    Large-scale farms such as Pyeongtaek Laying Chicken Farm (117,000 heads), Yesan quail farm (250,000 animals), and preventive slaughter farms near Yesan quail farm (500,000 heads) continued, and the scale of culling damage increased.

                    If the Asan Laying Chicken Farm (290,000 birds) in South Chungcheong Province, which received a suspicious report on the 9th, is confirmed as highly pathogenic, the cumulative damage is expected to approach 7 million.

                    “It is a very dangerous situation in which highly pathogenic AI is continuously generated in poultry farms of various livestock breeds and wild birds in various regions,” the ministry said.

                    The risk of sporadic outbreaks is expected to continue for the time being as the detection of highly pathogenic AI in wild birds continues nationwide only after January 20, including Busan, Anseong/Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, Cheorwon, Gangwon, and Gimhae, Gyeongnam.
