Japan - HP H5N8 avian flu confirmed in poultry - 2020/2021 - 36 farms in 15 prefectures affected

17th farm

Approximately 134,000 bird flu birds will be disposed of at a poultry farm in Mihara, Hiroshima

December 7, 2020


Chickens were found dead one after another at a poultry farm in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and avian influenza virus was detected as a result of inspection. Hiroshima Prefecture plans to dispose of approximately 134,000 chickens from this poultry farm.

According to Hiroshima Prefecture, on the 6th, a poultry farm in Mihara City contacted me that "11 chickens are dead."

When the prefecture conducted a simple test, a positive reaction was obtained, and as a result of further detailed tests, a highly pathogenic "H5 subtype" avian influenza virus with a high mortality rate was detected before dawn on the 7th.

In response to this, Hiroshima Prefecture held a meeting of the countermeasures headquarters at 6:30 am and decided to dispose of about 134,000 chickens such as this poultry farm.

Since last month, avian influenza virus has been detected in poultry farms in five prefectures, Kagawa, Fukuoka, Hyogo, Miyazaki, and Nara.

Bird Flu Outbreak Confirmed in Kagoshima Pref.


Kagoshima, Jan. 13 (Jiji Press)--The prefectural government of Kagoshima, southwestern Japan, said Wednesday that an outbreak of avian influenza believed to be highly pathogenic has been confirmed at a chicken farm in the town of Satsuma.

Kagoshima is the 15th Japanese prefecture to report a farm outbreak of such bird flu this season.

This is the prefecture's first bird flu outbreak at a farm in 10 years.

Kagoshima Prefecture started the work to cull all of some 32,600 chickens at the farm in Satsuma to prevent the spread of the infectious disease.
The prefectural government prohibited poultry farms within 3 kilometers of the affected facility from transferring their chickens and eggs and banned farms within 3 to 10 kilometers from moving their chickens and eggs outside the 10-kilometer zone.
