Kano State Government on Wednesday announced the resurfacing of bird flu in the state. Dr Shehu Bawa, the Director Veterinary Services, Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano. Bawa said the outbreak was recorded in one of the poultry farms in the state.

He said the affected farm had been depopulated while stringent measures were taken to prevent the spread of the disease. “The state government has taken proactive measures to contain the spread of the disease to other farms within the state,” Bawa said. He said part of the measures taken to check the spread of the disease include disinfection of the affected farm and routine surveillance of other farms. Bawa called on farmers to immediately report to the appropriate authority outbreak of the disease in their respective farms to enable government take prompt action.

“I am using this opportunity to advise farmers to immediately report any outbreak of the disease to enable government take prompt response.” On inadequate number of veterinarians, the director urged the government to employ more for effective supervision of abattoirs in the state. He said most of the abattoirs lacked veterinarians to inspect animals before being slaughtered.

“With the exception of the two abattoirs at Kofar Mazugal and Bachirawa, others have no meat Inspectors. “So, there is need to have veterinarians to supervise abattoirs in each of the 44 Local Government Areas of the state,” he said.

Bird flu: Kano state Govt kills 9,000 birds

Published on December 29, 2016 Chicken contaminated with bird flu

The Kano State government said it has so far killed 9,000 birds since bird flu resurfaced in the state two weeks ago.
Dr Shehu Bawa, the Director in the state’s Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, made the disclosure on Thursday in Kano.
He said that the birds were killed in two poultry farms that had been infected with the disease in the state.
He added that “as I am talking to you now, only two farms were hit by the disease and the farms had since been depopulated.
“We killed 500 birds in the first farm, while 8,500 were killed in the second farm.”
Bawa said the ministry would intensify surveillance and disinfection of other farms to check the spread of the disease, and would continue to sensitise farmers on the need for them to ensure clean environment.
He urged Federal Government to pay compensation to farmers who lost their birds in 2015 as the affected farmers were yet to receive anything from government.
He emphasised the need for government to compensate the affected farmers in view of the economic situation in the country.
“The payment will greatly assist in checking the spread of the disease as they (poultry farmers) will promptly report outbreak of the disease to government since they know they will get compensation.
“Even if they are not fully compensated, Federal Government should assist affected farmers to alleviate their sufferings.”:tiphat:http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2016/12...ls-9000-birds/
