If results far were not different between the first and second inspection, then indicated that the infection has happened in several months, or the year beforehand.

Could the Tamiflu throw these results off?

Do you mean, could Tamiflu reduce the quantity of antibodies produced and therefore the second inspection of antibodies is not as high as it might have been?

Re: General Indonesian News - 27 September 2008 +

Story of poultry farming and prices

Poultry farm to tend to advantage in the big cities. The poultry farm usually cause offensive odor that disrupt the activities of citizens. But do not wrong, although to a remote farm movable remote areas, yet, chicken meat, especially chicken primadona villages remain so for most of the citizens. Particularly towards the days of big religious.
Towards the feast of Eid ul-Adha, the village the size of chicken cages 1.8 kilos to 2 kilos size has been increased to Rp 26 thousand per head. Are in the Jakarta market, the price reached Rp 45 thousand per head. Some even predict the price, the pen is pointing up again to Rp 80 thousand per head until the beginning of the new year later. I wonder if the price of chicken per village tails can be reached Rp 150 thousand per head in the markets in Jakarta.

Potential economic chicken villagers were quite high by the Hajj M. Ade Zulkarnaen, breeder chickens from the Cicurug village, Sukabumi. Hajj itself start Ade wrestle with the world chicken village since the end of 2003. Previously, he was one of the senior journalist in a national media.

Before deciding to become village chicken farmer, Haji Ade has the potential of chicken covered in the village first. "The price of chicken It will never be stable and tended to fall. The chicken segment buyers village is the middle segment to the top and determine the selling price of chicken farmer, the village itself is not a cartel. If marginnya for profit, raising chickens in 1000 the village was equivalent to raising 30 thousand broiler, "he said.

In addition, according to Haji Ade, there is always a very large imbalance between the supply of chicken with the village level the village chicken demand. For the needs of city and the surrounding it, the supply of chicken village that is new to meet around 12 thousand, or about 9% of the total demand of 150 thousand tails per month.

"The low supply of chicken due to supply villages DOC (seed village chickens a day of age) are also low. For example, a request from the DOC DOC as 18 thousand per month in East Kalimantan, the new can be fulfilled as much as 8 thousand DOC only, "information about Hajj.

If done rough calculations, the macro one chicken takes charge of Rp 16,500 to Rp 18,500 for one maintenance period (70 days). "If we sell in the stable of Rp 26 thousand only, we can speculate that between 40% to 34% per chicken," information about Hajj.

Just compare the price of chicken village with the price of chicken race. Currently, the price of chicken cages race reached Rp 8,100. While the operational cost Rp 11,700. "If I, broiler prices continue to fall because prices are determined cartel," Haji Ade supplement.

However, it still remains vulnerable to potential losses. That is when the village chickens infected the bird flu virus. "In 2005 I was pandemonium losers 2,200 chickens village I should be destroyed because of the bird flu virus," the story about Hajj.

However, it even gave the idea to put off the virus. With immediately Haji Ade and groups peternaknya in Cicurug cooperation with the Center for Indonesian Veterinary Analitical Studies (CIVAS) to test a vaccine against bird flu first made in the Netherlands. The result, local animal husbandry Haji Ade groups and livestock in Cicurug is the first in Indonesia, which is free of bird flu.

Hajj is also Ade, business opportunities in the poultry farm villages are still open for individuals. However, will be better if the chicken farmer, the village joined in a container of livestock. The point of distribution and marketing of products already fit neatly. So, who interested Kampong same chicken?

The Basic Health Research also revealed that non-communicable diseases have replaced infectious diseases as the leading cause of death in all age groups.

Deaths caused by stroke constituted 15.4 percent of all fatalities among Indonesians over five, followed by Tuberculosis at 7.5 percent.

The survey also revealed that 6.5 percent of deaths among people of all ages were caused by injuries.

The report stated that 25.2 percent of deaths among under-fives are caused by diarrhoea, followed by pneumonia at 15.5 percent.

Dengue haemorrhagic fever is the main cause of death among children between five and 15 in urban areas, at 30.4 percent, while diarrhoea is the greatest killer among the same age group in rural areas, at 11.3 percent.

The prevalence of dengue is 0.6 percent nationally but in some provinces it is higher: 2.5 percent in East Nusa Tenggara, 2 percent in West Papua, 1.2 percent in Bengkulu and 1.2 percent in Jakarta.

The survey, the first of its kind in Indonesia, collected data to measure 900 health variables from 258,366 households or almost one million people. It was conducted in two stages in 33 provinces, first from August 2007 to January 2008, and again between August and September this year.

"The results of this research are very useful for developing policies and planning health programmes," Triono Sundoro, head of the Health Ministry's Research and Development Division, stated on the release of the report this month.

"With 900 variables, the outcome of the research can be used to develop further studies and analysis, as well as new standards for indicators of health," he added.

INTERVIEW-Indonesia sees progress on bird flu sharing

<!-- AN5.0 article title end --> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.alertnet.org/bin/js/article.js"></script> <input value="13" name="CurrentSize" id="CurrentSize" type="hidden"> <!-- INTERVIEW-Indonesia sees progress on bird flu sharing --> <!-- Reuters --> By Olivia Rondonuwu and Ed Davies JAKARTA, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Indonesia believes progress has been made towards agreeing a new global mechanism to share bird flu samples, although details need to be thrashed out before it will end its boycott, the country's health minister said.

Indonesia drew international concern when it stopped virus-sharing last year, saying it wanted guarantees from rich nations and drugmakers that poor nations would get access to affordable vaccines derived from their samples. Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari told Reuters late on Friday that the action had helped drive home an understanding of the issues.

"Stopping the virus is to say that I have a strong will to make a new world health mechanism," said the minister, who is known to be outspoken on the bird flu issue.

"This system is not fair. If the injustice is in the economic system, the impact is poverty, but if the injustice is found in the world health management, then the victim is human lives," she added in an interview at her central Jakarta offices. The minister's comments came amid a seasonal flare up in cases of bird flu globally, including in populous India.

International health experts say it is vital to have access to samples of the constantly mutating H5N1 virus, which they fear could change into a form easily transmissible among humans and sweep the world in months, killing millions of people.

Talks on virus sharing hosted by the WHO last year failed to reach an agreement after Indonesia had insisted on a "material transfer agreement" for each virus sample sent to foreign labs.

But Supari said a meeting of more than 100 countries last week in Geneva had made some breakthroughs including that benefit sharing would be integrated into material transfer agreements.

The minister said she hoped Indonesia could return to virus sharing "as soon as possible" but details still had to be pinned down, including on what benefits richer countries might provide.

Indonesia's negotiator in Geneva Widjaja Lukito said in a statement that benefits could include access to vaccines, vaccine stockpiles, transfer of technology and tiered pricing.

Supari also said that an agreement had been reached on a tracking system to monitor use of the virus samples.

"We have the rights to follow, track where our virus goes. In the old system, if you send your virus you don't know where the virus goes," she said.

Indonesia has suffered 113 known deaths from bird flu infections since 2003, the highest of any country, according to World Health Organisation data. (Editing by David Fox)
