    Monday, May 24, 2010 17:15:07 GMT | By: Joko Widodo
    AFP - from the central government budget for prevention of outbreak of bird flu (avian influenza / AI) in animals in Karanganyar district, Central Java, discontinued beginning in May 2010.

    Thus the only source of funds from the Government budget inggal Karanganyar District, said the Head of Department of Livestock and Fisheries District Karanganyar Muhammad Hatta told reporters in Karanganyar, Monday.

    District Budget Allocation for the field of animal health Karanganyar in 2010 only Rp30 million to Rp20 million, down from last year which reached Rp50 million. That, too, for animal health activities (Animal) overall.

    "So not only prevention and control of AI, but also the health of other animals, including for the purchase of vaccines since last year the central government has also decided," he said.

    Currently, the Animal Husbandry Department has only 15 thousand doses of vaccine for AI. The amount is far from considering the needs of almost all areas of the Karanganyar endemic bird flu.

    Meanwhile, if the operational funds for the prevention of a disease outbreak was terminated, Hatta ensure the handling of AI in cattle population was not maximized.

    "Finally to save the vaccine, we used during the incident. Activities we also switch to the socialization. And the point is, operations for the officers who took to the field. If there was no operational funds, how they can quickly deal with any existing AI report," he explained.

    The threat of the H5N1 virus in Karanganyar still quite high, Hatta in the budget plans proposed budget changes.

    He hopes, legislative consideration of this problem and allocate adequate budget for the Animal field.

    "We will ask Rp100 million. Hopefully enough to buy vaccines, disinfectants, 'rapid test' and the operational costs of prevention in the field," he said.

    Meanwhile, this year Karanganyar become one pilot in Indonesia related to the handling of H5N1 on a commercial farm (commercial farms). Unlike those who go down to the ranch the people (households), officers who joined in the commercial poultry veterinary officer (PVUK) in charge of checking poultry on commercial farms.

    "PVUK this will not go into people's farms, but specific commercial farms. With seven other districts in four provinces, we became a pilot handling of bird flu in poultry which allegedly attacked a high potential of H5N1," he said. h
