<!-- 기사내용 --> <!--@본문시작@-->December 26, 2006 ㅡ Despite a ban on the transfer of poultry from outside Jeju Island, about 3,000 ducks from Asan, South Chungcheong province ― where the fourth bird flu outbreak of the year occurred ― were smuggled onto the island, the Jeju government said.
Those ducks were slaughtered Sunday.
The transfer ban to Jeju was put in place Nov. 24, two days after the first bird flu outbreak was reported in Iksan, North Jeolla province.
The Jeju farm owner took in 3,200 ducks on Dec. 8 and 15 from a hatching facility in Anseong, Gyeonggi province by hiding them under sacks of chaff, the provincial government said.
The government said it slaughtered the ducks and 5,100 other ducks at the farm on Sunday and quarantined the farm. The farm owner, who did not know the ducks may have been infected, was fined 10 million won ($10,800). Test results on the ducks have not yet come in.
The Cheonan city government in South Chungcheong province yesterday also slaughtered 93,000 ducks hatched in the facility in Anseong from eggs sent from the infected farm. About 32,200 ducklings supplied from the farm through the facility to Geochang, South Gyeongsang province were also killed on Dec. 24, along with 140,000 ducklings supplied to North Chungcheong province through the route. The Gyeonggi provincial government on Dec. 24 also slaughtered 62,000 ducklings that were hatched and brought from the infected farm to five farms in the region from Nov. 20 to Dec. 11.
Also, the South Chungcheong government said 100 officials slaughtered 4,177 pigs at a farm within 500 meters of the infected farm in Asan and 2,000 chickens at a farm slightly more than 3 kilometers away over the weekend.
The provincial government has completed the slaughter of 22,000 poultry at 36 farms within a 3-kilometer-radius of the infected duck farm.
