Presence of a low pathogenic avian influenza virus in a farm in Ciri?res

Updated on 02/03/2018



The avian influenza virus found in a duck farm in Ciri?res is weakly pathogenic

The presence of an avian influenza virus was detected on March 1, 2018 in a breeding of 8,500 ducks in the town of Ciri?res in the north of the department. Complementary analyzes carried out by the national reference laboratory revealed the low pathogenic H5Nx virus.

As a result the measures that are required by law are as follows:
- The 8 500 ducks will be euthanized and the farm will be cleaned and disinfected. It is necessary to implement all measures to avoid the maintenance of a virus that can mutate rapidly to a highly pathogenic strain. The slaughter is supported by the State and the breeder will be compensated,
- A regulated zone of 1 km around the breeding is put in place. It includes 2 other poultry farms. In the regulated area, measures concerning poultry farming, including those for individuals, consist mainly of:
- the prohibition of entering and leaving poultry;
- the prohibition of entry and exit of eggs and poultry products;
- confinement (confinement) or filleting of poultry,
- for fowl filleted, protection of feeding and watering with respect to the excrement of wild birds;
- limitation of the movements of persons;
- the prohibition to enter the farms for external vehicles;
- disinfection of authorized vehicles to enter and exit farms; For professional farms, exemptions to the input-output can be granted by the Departmental Directorate of Social Cohesion and Protection of Populations ( DDCSPP ) subject to special precautions. In addition, throughout the regulated area:
- bird gatherings such as fairs, markets and exhibitions are prohibited;
- game releases are prohibited;
- the transport and spreading of manure and slurry from poultry or game birds is prohibited. This restricted area will be removed at the earliest 21 days after the disinfection of this farm and provided that the results of the samples taken in 2 other poultry farms in the area show favorable results. Given this context, all stakeholders, including veterinarians, ranchers, hunters, private barn owners and other bird owners, are reminded of the importance of strict enforcement of biosecurity measures. on farms and during the transport of animals.
