6 Chickens in Leuwigajah H5N1 Positive
Leuwigajah, (GM) -
Six of the 24 pet chickens Marna 06/RW Sumarna in RT 02 Kel. Leuwigajah, Kec. South Cimahi, died suddenly and tested positive for H5N1 virus (bird flu, red). The death of chickens owned by the head of the local RT happened consecutive since Saturday (9 / 10) until Tuesday (12/10).
Unfortunately, despite the known positive H5N1, has so far not carried out limited culling (depopulation) by Agricultural Cooperatives, Industry, Commerce, and Agriculture (Diskopindagtan) Cimahi. Therefore, it might still be waiting for the willingness of pet owners to destroy chickens.
In response to these issues, The Center for Animal Health (Pukeswan), drh. Irfan Dawn said, depopulation is one way to break the chains of the spread of H5N1. "If it's not yet done depopulation, we suggest that chickens are still alive right now should not be out of the cage," he told reporters on Wednesday (13/10).
Because, added Irfan, if the vaccination would be redundant and useless, because the chickens had been infected with a virus and need time to bring optimal immunity.
Irfan said it would conduct re-checking at the site and see the condition of the remaining chicken. If worse, then what should be a way for depopulation and solutions in deciding the spread of the virus.
Previous similar case occurred in 04/RW RT 07 Kel. Cipageran in February. At that time the population of 20 chickens, which died by 9 tails.
Meanwhile, the Economic Development Section Chief Ex. Leuwigajah, Rully Sulfanorida say, if there are sudden deaths of poultry tested positive and, after checking, it is within 100 meters of the location must be depopulation.
