Liquidation of hotbed of bird flu in east Bohemia to take longer
Chocen- The liquidation of the hotbed of bird flu outbreaks in east Bohemia will take longer than expected, deputy head of the Pardubice Regional Firefighter and Rescue corps Ales Cernohorsky said.
The works will probably last till the end of July although previously the culling and the liquidation of birds in the afflicted areas was expected to be completed on Wednesday or Thursday.
"The works have got stuck in Kosorin as it is a large poultry farm of nine units occupying the area of 900 square metres. I have information from the spot that the works will take another 15 days to complete," Cernohorsky said.
The works in Kosorin have been complicated, apart from the large area, also by a great amount of technology," he said.
The works at the farm in Netreby will be completed on Friday.
In all, 199,334 birds have been culled at the poultry farms in Tisova, Norin, Chocen, Netreby, Zarecka Lhota and Loucky that were hit by the H5N1 bird flu virus strain.
Among the poultry liquidated there were ill and healthy turkeys, broilers and laying hens. In addition, 1868 birds from small private flocks have been culled on the orders by vets, State Veterinary Administration spokesman Josef Duben told CTK today.
The first outbreak of bird flu was registered by vets at a farm of 6,000 turkeys at Tisova on June 20. One week later, the virus was discovered at a broiler farm in Norin, four kilometres from Tisova. Other cases of the emergence of H5N1 strain were confirmed at the poultry farms in Netreby and near Kosorin on July 11.
