Since February 7th, 27 out of 123 households in Hamlet 1 (Cam Xuyen Commune, Ha Tinh Province) have had poultry that fell ill, died, or were subsequently destroyed. Over 900 sick or dead poultry were destroyed by the households themselves.
On February 10th, information from the leaders of Cam Xuyen commune People's Committee indicated that an outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza had occurred in the commune, and the local authorities are actively implementing disease prevention and control measures.
Earlier, on the morning of February 7th, the commune received information that several households in Hamlet 1 had sick and dying chickens. The Commune People's Committee coordinated with the Plant Protection and Veterinary Station of Region VIII and the Hamlet 1 Steering Committee to directly visit the households with sick and dying poultry to inspect, verify, and investigate the disease situation.
According to data reviewed as of the afternoon of February 7th, the total poultry population in Hamlet 1 was 2,592 birds, of which 27 out of 123 households had sick, dead, or destroyed poultry. 902 sick or dead birds were destroyed by the households themselves.
The Plant Protection and Veterinary Station of Region VIII, in coordination with the Ha Tinh Department of Crop Production and Livestock and local authorities, collected two samples from two households with sick and dead chickens and sent them to the Diagnostic and Testing Station II of the Central Veterinary Diagnostic and Testing Center I for testing for avian influenza H5N1 and Newcastle disease. Simultaneously, they guided the households on implementing disease prevention and control measures for poultry flocks and biosecurity practices (sanitizing and disinfecting poultry houses, vaccination, disposal of sick and dead poultry, etc.).
On the afternoon of February 8th, test results for sick poultry from two households in Hamlet 1, Cam Xuyen Commune, both came back positive for the H5N1 virus.
Authorities have determined that the cause of the outbreak is due to erratic weather patterns of rain and sunshine, high humidity, prolonged low temperatures, and weakened immunity, creating favorable conditions for pathogens to thrive.
As soon as signs of an outbreak are detected, local authorities, in coordination with relevant agencies, will implement comprehensive measures to prevent and control avian influenza outbreaks, aiming to promptly contain and prevent its spread to a wider area.
However, the weather is unpredictable at this time of year, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, controlling the movement of poultry in and out of the area is proving difficult.
