        Avian influenza detected again in Estrie

        Radio-Canada
        Posted April 12 at 1:03 p.m. CST

        A case of avian flu, called H5N1, was detected in a non-commercial breeding facility located in the Haut-Saint-François Regional County Municipality (MRC)

        According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website, the case has not been detected in poultry.

        The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) notified the owners of small bird farms in the area by email. They are also informed that the risk of your birds contracting the avian influenza virus is currently high .

        Livestock owners must also “rigorously” apply prevention and biosecurity measures. It is also recommended, among other things, to confine the birds in a closed building, to avoid attracting wild birds with food or bodies of water near the enclosures and above all, to avoid contact between birds. commercial and non-commercial breeding with the exchange of personnel, for example.

        Asked to explain the situation, the MAPAQ said they did not have a spokesperson available Friday.

          I am guessing this is a wild bird at a backyard poultry breeding facility? They mention not to attract wild birds so.....

        This event is the continuation of event 4191. We report one new outbreak of HPAI in domestic non-poultry in Quebec. Remaining non-poultry outbreaks in domestic birds are closed. WOAH data on poultry and non-poultry can be visualized and extracted on the HPAI dashboard in domestic birds available at https://cahss.ca/cahss-networks/poultry-new (select non-poultry category to show data related to non-poultry events 4191 and 5250). Wildlife surveillance as well as the Canadian Avian Influenza Surveillance System (CanNAISS) activities for poultry are ongoing in Canada. According to Article 10.4.1.4. of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Member Country should not impose bans on the international trade of poultry commodities in response to notification of infection with any Influenza A viruses in birds other than poultry.

          This report is about domestic chickens and ducks in a non-commercial setting. There is a comment about not banning poultry exports..so they categorized this event as non-poultry avian flu??

              A case of bird flu declared in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot

              November 19, 2024

              Avian flu is present in a poultry farm in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

              The CFIA confirmed on Sunday that a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza was discovered in Quebec this fall.

              La Terre de chez nous indicates that the infected poultry flock came from a non-quota commercial farm, according to data collected by the Quebec Poultry Disease Control Team.

              The newspaper points out that this is an area with a high density of poultry farming and a control zone has been set up to minimise the spread to other farms.

              As of September 1, 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported 950,000 cases of infected birds in Quebec alone.

              La grippe aviaire est présente dans un élevage de volailles de Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, selon l’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments. L’A-C-I-A a confirmé dimanche qu’un cas d’influenza aviaire hautement pathogène a été découvert au Québec cet automne. La Terre de chez nous indique que le troupeau de volailles infecté proviendrait d’un élevage commercial non contingenté, selon des données recueillies

              Two poultry flocks in Montérégie infected with bird flu

              The virus does not in any way endanger the activities of poultry producers.

              Published on November 19, 2024 at 11:28 a.m.

              A second case of avian flu (H5N1) in a poultry flock is confirmed in Montérégie.

              The new infected herd, a commercial farm, is located in the Carignan sector.

              The day before, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had confirmed a first case, this time in a commercial farm in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot.

              The activities of the Quebec Poultry Farmers (ÉVQ) are in no way jeopardized by the appearance of these cases.

              Producers and other poultry stakeholders will simply increase biosecurity measures in affected areas.

              “Spring and fall are the periods when this virus is most likely to spread. When we enter a chicken coop inhabited by chickens or turkeys, we take precautionary measures that we apply year-round. I would say that this morning, the Éleveurs de volailles du Québec (ÉVQ) woke up with this awareness to do more. We do what we do every day, but we think about it more.”
              - Benoit Fontaine, president of the Poultry Farmers of Quebec

              There are 1,600 chicken and turkey farms in Quebec, including approximately 200 in Montérégie.

                Third outbreak of bird flu detected in Quebec

                Marianne Langlois
                Wednesday, November 20, 2024 10:10 PM
                Wednesday, November 20, 2024 10:14 PM

                The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that another outbreak of avian flu was detected in Lotbinière, near Quebec City, on Wednesday.

                The discovery was made on a commercial poultry farm.

                Another case was also reported in the city of Abbotsford in British Columbia.

                A commercial poultry farm in the west of the country was also affected.

                Both cases were reported on Wednesday.

                Several cases

                Earlier this week, a first case of bird flu since January was declared in a bird farm in Sainte-Hélène-de-Bagot, between Saint-Hyacinthe and Drummondville.

                The next day, another outbreak was reported, this time on a farm in Montérégie which had been hit by a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

                Let us recall that the first Canadian woman infected with the avian flu virus was a young woman from British Columbia whose health is currently considered critical.

                The World Organisation for Animal Health reminds that any farmer who suspects that one of his or her birds may be affected must inform the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

                Anyone who finds a sick or dead wild bird is also urged to contact the World Organisation for Animal Health to report their discovery.

                  Latest bird flu situation

                  We are currently responding to cases avian influenza in domestic birds across Canada. Anyone with birds must practice good biosecurity habits to protect poultry and prevent disease.

                  To date, the most common avian influenza virus in domestic birds has been highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), subtype H5N1.

                  On November 8, 2024, the CFIA confirmed the presence of the HPAI H5N2 subtype in poultry in British Columbia.

                  On November 25, 2024, the CFIA detected low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI), subtype H5, in Quebec.

                  The HPAI virus found in U.S. dairy cattle has not been detected in birds or any other animals in Canada.

                  Avian influenza is not a food safety concern. There is no evidence to suggest that eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit the virus to humans.
