Since highly pathogenic AI was produced in duck poultry farms and confirmed one after another in wild birds, the nation was exposed to the risk of AI.

The quarantine authorities judged AI to be at a very dangerous level and entered the highest level of quarantine measures.

Reporter Oh In-seok about the report.

As the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry farms was confirmed, tensions from quarantine authorities also increased.

This is because highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed in domestic poultry farms within 2 years and 8 months, and highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed one after another in wild birds.

Eight highly pathogenic AI antigens were detected in wild birds in Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungnam, and Jeju.

Quarantine authorities believe that the path through which the highly pathogenic AI was introduced into poultry farms is currently the most likely to have been through contaminated wild birds from migratory birds in the vicinity of the farm.

With the AI ​​crisis alert upgraded to ‘Severe’, quarantine authorities have entered the highest level of quarantine measures.

First, intensive disinfection was carried out in the migratory bird arrival area and the access road to the poultry farm in the Jeollabuk-do region, where the focus farm belongs.

In addition to existing migratory bird habitats, disinfection is performed four times a week in small reservoirs and rivers near 5,700 poultry farms nationwide.

To prevent further spread of AI, manuals were also distributed to strengthen quarantine for local governments, farmers, and livestock officials.

An administrative order was also issued, such as the prohibition of livestock vehicles from entering the control section of the arrival zone for migratory birds.

The raising of poultry on poultry farms throughout the country is prohibited and the distribution of live chickens and ducks in traditional markets is prohibited.

Quarantine authorities have requested that access to migratory birds, reservoirs and agricultural lands that may come into contact with the virus be prevented.
