A/H5N6 flu virus: Quang Nam culls 800,000 ducks


Quang Nam province has begun culling 800,000 ducks after the H5N6 avian bird flu virus was detected in poultry, reports the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Deputy Director of the Quang Nam provincial Agriculture and Rural Development, Le Muon, announced on September 20 so far 3,150 ducks have tested positive for the deadly A/H5N6 virus.

Veterinarians have now taken preemptive measures to test ducks and poultry from over three household breeding farms in Phu Quy 3 hamlet, Tam My Dong commune, Nui Thanh district.

Muon warned the virus can spread rapidly. ?We are intensifying inspection efforts on affected farms, and taking preventive measures in high risk areas, and strictly controlling the trading of poultry. At present, Quang Nam has more than 800,000 ducks,? he said.

He attributed the appearance of the A/H5N6 virus in Quang Nam to unclear origin of duck breeds which were purchased from northern provinces.
