Avian flu: 312,000 poultry decimated to prevent the spread

Tuesday, April 5, 2022 12:43 PM

Mali is once again facing avian flu. The presence of the disease was confirmed by the central veterinary laboratory, Kati sector. He announces that more than 312,000 poultry have been decimated as a precautionary measure.

These slaughtered poultry come from the infected poultry farms of Fanafiècoro, Diago and Diédougou Torodo. The city's veterinary service points out that the investigations began on March 13 in the said farms on questioning of the owners.

Avian flu is a poultry disease. According to health specialists, it can be transmitted to humans. Faced with this new appearance of the disease, the population is worried. Some of them sensitize others by asking them “to avoid eating the chickens” . “I am from Kati, but I am not aware of this information. All in all, I don't like chicken ,” underlines a citizen of Kati. She assures that she will get the message across. For other inhabitants of the said locality, the government must proceed to the "control" of the places of sale of the chickens to clean them up.

"The situation is under control" , reassure veterinarians

The investigations were carried out by the Kati veterinary service. For its leaders, the situation required rapid action.

“In any case, we noticed cats all over the building. However, they are also sources of contamination of the disease” , explains Mrs. Sountoura Fatoumata Diakité, head of the veterinary sector of Kati. “As a clinical sign, we observed sudden deaths. We also collected the testimony of a resident of Kati ,” says Ms. Sountoura.

No proper treatment!

Mrs. Sountoura Fatoumata Diakité indicates that there is no adequate treatment for avian flu. According to her , "once the disease has been registered in a henhouse within three days, all the poultry die" . She points out that “there is still no adequate treatment for avian flu” .

In a circular letter from the prefecture of Kati, the entry or exit of domestic birds in infected localities as well as the identification of all farms holding poultry inside the zone are prohibited.
