Tribune reporter Lampung, Yaspen Martinus
BANDAR LAMPUNG, TRIBUN - the main factor increasing cases of avian influenza (AI), aka bird flu in Bandar Lampung in the early 2010, especially in January and February, is the lack of openness of the heart the community to assist the government in controlling and preventing disease.

Based on data from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health (Disnakkeswan) Lampung, in January 2010, a total of 88 birds died from bird flu. Meanwhile, throughout Lampung, as many as 2714 dead birds, from the beginning of the total population of 102,348 birds tail.

According to the Supreme Wiwoho Sunandjak drh, staff Department of Agriculture, Livestock, and Forestry Bandar Lampung, the lack of openness of these people's hearts can be seen from the still of the poultry yard, such as chickens, ducks, entok, and geese, which are still wild and not dikandangkan.

"Actually, people have been socialized about how to raise poultry yard to avoid bird flu," he said, Saturday (13 / 3).

In addition, he continued, still met the owners of poultry and poultry yard that sells commercial poultry remains a companion with a sudden dead chicken. Then, many people who do not provide clear information about the sudden death of his birds to the officers of Participatory Deasease Surveylans and Response (PDSR).

In addition, there are also reluctant to poultry owners to burn and bury his dead chickens that died suddenly. They even throw it into the river, gardens, and even the trash. Without the role of the community, the bird flu will likely increase, both in terms of the number of sick birds (morbidity) and death rate (mortality).

"In fact, the risk of transmission from poultry to humans is widening, although there has been a special officer. PDSR staff performance will not succeed if there is no active participation from the community. Because PDSR formed to invite the public to participate," added the officer PDSR.

Over the last three years, has done PDSR Surveillance, control, prevention, and control of bird flu. Especially for the prevention of transmission from poultry to humans. In Lampung, until now there has been no resident who died from bird flu.

Furthermore, Sunandjak explained that the risk of transmission of bird flu from poultry to humans may have occurred in Lampung. Moreover, cases of bird flu that happened lately was not reported to the officer PDSR. The reason is very simple AI viruses mutate, so the potential for zoonotic alias transmit from human to human.

Bandar Lampung PDSR officers consists of four teams. Members are civil servants from the department of agriculture, although there are also civil servants who have become like Sunandjak.

"People can call the number if there is PDSR sudden death cases in poultry in Bandar Lampung. Our number is 081379887301, 081379887302, 081379067118, and 081379351221," he concluded.

Special Market Poultry Build
EXCEPT PDSR officers formed a 100 per cent of its operational funding comes from the assistance of Food and Agriculture Organization of the World (FAO), Bandar Lampung city administration through the agency of agriculture, animal husbandry, and forestry (distannakhut) also made various efforts to prevent, control and eradicate bird flu.

The effort is to apply the rearrangement supervision and regulation of backyard poultry, both in industry and households. Also imposed a ban on poultry trade from the region that have not been free of bird flu into areas already free.

"City Government also conducts education and socialization of the important role of veterinary public health. Serta, poultry keeping management socialization is good and right according to the rules. The tip of his spear was PDSR and THL staff (daily workers off)," said Supreme Wiwoho Sunandjak drh, staff Distannakhut Bandar Lampung.

Restructuring of poultry yard, he added, also sought to avoid the spread of bird flu. Attempt to create setting, monitoring, and control of poultry trade in cross-sector will also apply.

Building a healthy market, or change the traditional market to a healthy market is one thing that can be done. The market stalls will be providing a healthy meat and poultry separate from other products kiosk.

"In addition, also sought to build a special market for poultry and its products transactions. PDSR increase HR staff will also be conducted," added Sunandjak.

Owners must keep the poultry yard of their birds throughout the day, so no contact with wild birds outside the cage. Chickens also have a separate dikandangkan with other birds, like ducks, entok, geese, and birds.

Newly purchased birds should also be separated before it merged with the existing poultry. Cages must be cleaned with a disinfectant soap water used to wash clothes at least twice a week. Or with a commercial disinfectant such as vitox, glutanol, and rodalon, which can be used once a week.

"Selling a healthy birds, and burning and burying the birds that died suddenly, also must be done. When doing so, must use cover your mouth and nose, as well as gloves," he said. (*)
