The Prevention and Inspection Bureau of the Council of Agriculture stated that the Animal Health Laboratory notified that a new H5N2 subtype (branch b) highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was confirmed in a mixed breeding farm of guinea fowl and Wenchang fowl in Beigang Township, Yunlin County (proactive notification) and operated in accordance with the standard According to the procedures, the Yunlin Animal and Plant Epidemiological Institute executed the culling and destruction of the 84-day-old chickens of the farm at 19,251 (13,750 guinea fowls and 5,501 Wenchang chickens), and completed the cleaning and disinfection of the site.
According to the Bureau of Inspection and Quarantine, 16 cases of bird flu have been confirmed and culled in poultry farms (7 land poultry farms, 8 geese farms and 1 duck farm) so far in 110 years.
The Bureau of Inspection and Quarantine said that my country’s upstream countries (South Korea and Japan) on the path of migratory birds have reoccurred a high pathogenic poultry influenza epidemic in November this year. Among them, South Korea (November 8 to today) has confirmed the H5N1 subtype high pathogen in 8 poultry farms. Avian influenza virus (branch b), the number of poultry culled exceeds 1 million. Japan (November 10 to date) has confirmed the H5N1 or H5N8 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (all branch b) in 5 poultry farms, Nearly 420,000 poultry have been culled. It is obvious that migratory birds are migrating across the country, and the risk of foreign avian influenza viruses being introduced into my country’s poultry farms has increased.
The Bureau of Inspection and Quarantine said that there are currently two cases of new H5N2 subtype avian influenza virus in poultry farms in China, and there are also cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza poultry farms in Japan and South Korea. The risk of pathogen transmission through wild migratory birds increases, and poultry farms should be independent Implement various biosafety tasks to prevent bird flu.
