The Ministry of Agriculture and Food explained that the AI, which had been generated by wild birds flying domestically, has spread to farmers since last month. Type H5N8 is the same highly pathogenic wild bird AI type previously confirmed. It was only 2 years and 8 months that the AI occurred on domestic farms.
Local farms that see killing work have the atmosphere of a portrait house. Within a 10 km radius of the AI-prone duck farm, 60 farms are raising 2.61 million poultry. Among farmers, there is concern that “if the consumption of chickens and ducks decreases as a result of AI, not only Jeollabuk-do, but also poultry farms and related industries across the country will suffer increasing damage.”
Mr. Jeon, 63, who raises 76,100 chickens for meat in Ipyeong-myeon, Jeongeup, said, “Our farm is not subject to slaughter because it is 10 km from the (AI-prone farm).” All farmers have their hair on the brink. ”
Jeon said, “Before the AI exploded, the (quarantine) authorities have stepped up surveillance by sending messages from various places (Jeonbuk-do, Jeongeup, etc.).” The farms also sterilized the farms and quarantined them, but it’s embarrassing that it happens. “I said. He said,” If an AI explodes, no matter how harmless it is to the human body, anxiety increases, leading to the consumption of poultry. ”
