Yeoju City, Gyeonggi Province, on the 9th, following the diagnosis of highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) in the laying hen farm and the detection of AI antigens in the quail farms, took a complete response to block the spread to other poultry farms.

Previously, on day 6, a highly pathogenic AI occurred on a laying hen farm in Ganam-eup, killing 193,000 farm-raised animals, and 17,000 of the duck farms within a 3 km radius were also prophylactically euthanized.

Following this, quail farm B in Ganam-eup, which is 5.2 km from laying hen farm A, is already killing 100,000 animals and removing the remains before confirmation of high pathogenicity was found after suspicious cattle were discovered the day before.

In addition, 715,000 poultry from 7 farms within a 3 km radius of quail farm B were also prophylactically slaughtered on the same day.

In the region, 1 laying hen farm (385,000), 3 broiler farms (169,000), 1 duck farm (100,000), 1 quail farm (60,000), 1 native chicken farm (1,000 animals) are distributed .

The City plans to purchase 634 poultry from 44 small farms within a 10 km radius of Layer Farm A to promote selection, and take the same measures for small farms near Quail Farm B.

In addition, officers in charge are appointed for each full-time farm household (more than 10,000 raised heads) to conduct telephone surveillance.

In addition to the two base disinfection sites, mobile checkpoints are set up around 7 poultry farms that raise more than 100,000 animals and operate 24 hours a day.

It is also strengthening the disinfection of migratory birds in the vicinity of AI-producing farms and Bok rivers by mobilizing 5 wide-area control units, 3 quarantine vehicles, 2 sprinklers and 2 drones.

A city official said: “In January 2017, a large-scale occurrence of highly pathogenic AI occurred on 11 farms, and local poultry farms were devastated.” “He said.

In Yeoju, 102 full-time farms (23 laying hens, 66 broilers, 2 ducks and 11 quails) are raising 6.61 million poultry.
