An bird flu outbreak was confirmed today at a goose farm in Yunlin’s Mailiao
Township..

..marking the first goose infection by H5N1 in nearly 11 months.

In response, authorities culled 402 geese and are monitoring 12 surrounding
farms for potential infections.

They suspect inadequate biosecurity measures as the cause, given the farm's
relatively close distance from other cases...

Following the avian influenza outbreak at three laying hen farms in Changhua County this year, a quail farm in Erlin Township was also confirmed to be infected with the new H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus. The Changhua County Animal Quarantine Station completed the culling, clearing and disinfection of the quail farm today, killing a total of 64,300 quails.

The Changhua County Animal Control Station stated that three laying hen farms in Changhua County have been confirmed to be infected with the new H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus this year, including one in Zhutang Township and two in Fangyuan Township. A total of more than 88,000 chickens have been culled. This is the first time that quail at the Erlin quail farm have been confirmed.

The Animal and Plant Protection Station said that on February 10, it received a report from a quail farm in Erlin Town, saying that there were abnormal deaths of quails on the farm. The station immediately sent personnel to control movement and sent samples to the Veterinary Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture for inspection. On February 12, it was confirmed that the quails were infected with the new H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.

The Animal Health and Prevention Center reminds that due to the influence of the cold air mass from the mainland in recent days, temperatures in various regions have dropped and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which can easily cause stress in poultry and lead to a decrease in resistance. We urge poultry farms and production and sales operators to strengthen daily management, pay attention to the insulation and ventilation of the farm environment, and jointly prevent the occurrence and spread of the epidemic.

If there are suspicious cases such as unexplained mass deaths at poultry farms, livestock owners should immediately and proactively report to the township or city office or the Changhua County Animal Quarantine Station to facilitate immediate detection and elimination of the pathogen. Failure to report may result in a fine of not less than NT$50,000 and not more than NT$1,000,000 in accordance with the Animal Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act.

The Changhua County Government urges poultry farmers to comply with prevention and control regulations. If they fail to implement various biosafety and epidemic prevention measures, they may be fined up to NT$150,000 and given a deadline to improve. If they fail to improve by the deadline, if highly pathogenic avian influenza is detected in poultry on the farm, no compensation will be given for the poultry culled.
