In the middle of a tough fight with Corona 19, a cattle suspected of highly pathogenic avian influenza and AI for the first time this year at a duck farm in Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, took an emergency for livestock authorities. Poultry farms and livestock vehicles across the country have been temporarily suspended for 48 hours starting today. Reporter Park Jo-eun reports. Suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza and AI have been confirmed at a duck farm in Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do. The H5 antigen was detected in a test performed before the duck was shipped. Recently, highly pathogenic AI has been confirmed one after another in wild birds, but it has yet to appear in poultry farms. This is the first time a highly pathogenic suspected case has emerged on a poultry farm this year. Whether it is highly pathogenic or not, it is expected to come out tomorrow. More than 19,000 meat ducks are raised on this farm. In addition, there are 66 poultry farms within a 10 km radius, which is putting pressure on the livestock authorities. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food immediately dispatched an initial response team to the site to control access and take preventive quarantine measures, such as preventive burial. In addition, a temporary suspension order was issued. The temporary suspension order applies to poultry farms and livestock vehicles across the country for 48 hours starting at 0 o’clock today. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food will organize a central inspection team during this period to check if the order has been complied with and to disinfect poultry farms and migratory bird sites across the country at once. In particular, we plan to mobilize all available resources for the arrival of migratory birds and the roads around the farms where suspected cattle had been. Since the number of migratory birds visiting Korea this year has increased on a larger scale than last year, the infectivity of breeding birds by AI is high and authorities have been working in quarantine since the beginning of this month.
