"It is estimated that there are still sudden deaths that occur in poultry belonging to residents, but are reluctant to report it," he added. Riyono explained, the causes of the emergence of Avian Flu are various. The cleanliness factor of the cage and the environment around the drums is the main influence. The influence of weather also has an effect because the transition season is a factor in decreasing the immunity of poultry, so that virus transmission seems massive. According to Riyono, Bontang Baru Urban Village is the location where most dead ungags are found. From the results of the swab test, not all cages found in dead chickens were positive for bird flu. "Especially for ungas deaths, most of them occurred in Pak Yadi's house behind the Amalia hospital. Of his 150 Bangkok chickens, about 90 of his birds died," said Royono. To anticipate the spread, he added, in addition to sterilizing the drums, Bontang City DKP3 has also taken samples for the PCR test for bird flu at the Keswan Laboratory of the Provincial Animal Husbandry Service, Samarinda for live birds. The PCR test samples were collected from the cages where the death of the ungags was found but did not report it.

      Kaltim Today November 19, 2020, 14:48

      Kaltimtoday.co , Bontang - The Health Office (Dinkes) of Bontang , East Kalimantan has asked its residents not to panic in line with the sudden death of birds due to bird flu.
      Head of Section for Animal Health Service of Bontang Food, Fisheries, and Agriculture Security Service (DKP3) , drh Riyono emphasized, although the number of poultry deaths has increased. However, his party confirmed that the case had been handled and was successfully controlled. "Bird flu is indeed zoonotic, which comes from animals then mutates and transmits to humans, but it has been handled according to procedures such as sterilization and cage disinfection," he said. Riyono explained that his party first received a report of a poultry death case from a resident in Bontang Urban Village last October.

      After conducting clinical trials, both by rapid test and PCR, it turned out that the sudden death of native chickens was confirmed due to bird flu. Not long after, DKP3 received another number of reports from the same region. Also partly due to bird flu. The total accumulation of poultry deaths reached 333 cases from 12 location points. Regarding the causes of massive bird flu transmission in Bontang. Riyono suspects that the virus may have spread from feed or poultry imported from outside the city. In addition, it could also be due to the influence of the transition season which is a factor in decreasing the immunity of poultry.

      For this reason, chicken breeders or poultry owners should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the cage to reduce the transmission rate. Of course, by wearing a mask and gloves. "Avoid contact with bare hands," he concluded. Moreover, currently Bontang has the highest avian influenza cases after Tenggarong Kutai Kartanegara with 88 cases.
