Suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza have been confirmed 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 journalists to learn more about the news. Reporter Lee Seong-woo! Can you tell us the details of a suspected case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do? According to AI’s Central Accident Control Center, a suspected case of highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed yesterday at a fattening duck farm in Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do. H5 type AI antigen was detected at the Jeonnam Animal Health Laboratory quarantine inspection before the ducks were shipped from this farm. Whether it is highly pathogenic or not, it is expected to come out around 5pm today. Quarantine authorities dispatched the initial response team to control access, prevent killings, and conduct epidemiological investigations. If confirmed to be highly pathogenic, it will be subject to preventive killing for farms within a 3 km radius of the farm. More than 9,800 ducks raised on this farm are known to have been killed. In addition, there are 10 poultry farms within a 3 km radius of the farm, and 493,000 ducks are known to be raised on these farms. Quarantine authorities have issued a temporary suspension order for poultry farms, livestock facilities and livestock vehicles in Jeollanam-do for 48 hours starting at 1 a.m. today. In addition, a temporary suspension order has been issued to the poultry farm belonging to the affiliated company where the suspected AI case occurred. If high pathogenicity is confirmed, this is the third highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak in domestic farms after Jeongeup in Jeonbuk and Sangju in Gyeongbuk. Because of this, quarantine authorities are nervous about whether the highly pathogenic AI is spreading across the country.
