A suspected case of highly pathogenic avian influenza occurred at a duck farm in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do. If it is considered highly pathogenic, it is the third case after Jeongeup in Jeonbuk and Sangju in Gyeongbuk. We will connect reporters to learn more about the news. Reporter Kim Bum-hwan! A suspected case of highly pathogenic avian influenza has been confirmed in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do. Yes, the AI Central Accident Control Center said yesterday that a suspected case of highly pathogenic avian influenza was detected at a meat duck farm in Sijong-myeon, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do. Prior to the shipment of ducks, AI type H5 antigen was detected in a test at the Jeonnam Animal Health Laboratory. The high pathogenicity is expected to be confirmed late this afternoon. Quarantine authorities dispatched an initial response team to control access, burial, and epidemiological investigations. If confirmed to be highly pathogenic, it is subject to preventive burial disposal for farms within a 3 km radius of the farm. More than 9,800 ducks have already been buried on this farm. In addition, 490,000 poultry are known to be raised on 10 poultry farms within a 3 km radius. Quarantine authorities have issued a temporary suspension order for poultry farms, livestock facilities and livestock vehicles in Jeollanam-do for two days until tomorrow. The same is the case for poultry farms owned by affiliated companies where suspected AI cases occur. If high pathogenicity is confirmed, this is the third outbreak in domestic farms this year after Jeongeup in Jeonbuk and Sangju in Gyeongbuk. With AI antigens appearing on 10 of the country’s top migratory birds, there is concern that highly pathogenic AI could spread across the country.
