The ban on chicken shipments from Java was based on an instruction from the Jembrana district administration and intended to prevent the spread of the deadly disease to wider areas, Bali police spokesman Senior Commissioner Reniban said here on Monday.
Jembrana authorities had imposed the ban on chicken consignments from Java after one of the district's residents was reported to have been infected with the bird flu virus.
"At least 10,000 chickens and ducks from Java have been barred from entering Bali by joint teams posted in several areas in Jembrana," he said.
Jembrana authorities have set up rapid response teams supervising the implementation of the poultry transportation restriction.
Bali authorities have also ordered the culling of all poultry at Banjar Dangin Tukad Aya and Tegal Badeng villages, Jembrana, where bird flu cases had been detected.
The Jembrana administration also sprayed insecticides throughout the district three times. (**)[/FONT]
