VOH - This is the first outbreak recorded in this locality in 2025.
On April 9, the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Quang Tri province confirmed the detection of avian influenza A/H5N1 virus in a flock of ducks owned by Mr. Doan Cuong in Tram Ly village, Hai Quy commune, Hai Lang district.
Specifically, from March 29 to April 3, about 1,500 of Mr. Cuong's family's 5,000 ducks died abnormally. However, the owner treated them without reporting to the authorities. When checked, there were about 3,500 ducks left, of which 500 had symptoms of illness such as swollen liver and heart.
Immediately upon receiving the report, the authorities took samples for testing. Results from the Veterinary Department of Region III on April 6 confirmed the presence of the A/H5N1 virus strain. By April 7, the authorities had destroyed all 3,400 remaining ducks according to epidemic prevention regulations.
Emergency epidemic prevention measures have been deployed such as spraying disinfectants in the entire area and establishing a 3km protective belt around the outbreak. At the same time, poultry flocks in high-risk areas have been vaccinated with the latest batch of avian influenza vaccines.
According to the veterinary agency's assessment, the cause may be due to the changing weather and high humidity, creating favorable conditions for the virus to develop. In particular, the failure of the household owner to report early has put the epidemic at risk of spreading widely. Local authorities have increased monitoring of other livestock households in the area.
Quang Tri province has directed localities to strengthen inspection and closely monitor the epidemic situation. People are advised not to hide the epidemic, to implement biosecurity measures in livestock farming, and to report immediately when they detect unusually sick or dead poultry.
This is the first time in 2 years that Quang Tri province has recorded an avian influenza epidemic. Previously, in 2023, this locality also had a similar epidemic that caused thousands of poultry to be destroyed. Experts warn of the risk of a widespread outbreak if not well controlled.
