Mekong Delta warned of bird flu spread
06/03/2013\
Bridge – Bird flu has recurred in Hau Giang and Kien Giang provinces, and the epidemic is likely to spread across the Mekong Delta
Local farmers are currently harvesting the winter-spring rice crop, creating ideal conditions for ducks to range around rice fields and hunt for food.
Experts have raised concerns about the emergence of the deadly strain of H5N1 virus as it is difficult to control these free-range ducks.
Bird flu was detected at a chick breeding farm in Hon Dat Town, Kien Giang Province in mid February, resulting in immediate culling of 559 chicks. Despite this precaution, the deadly disease killed a local person in the province early this year.
Meanwhile, Hau Giang province uncovered a bird flu outbreak in a chicken farm in My Thanh village, Phung Hiep district in early February. As many as 600 out of a total of 1,070 infected chickens were reported dead. Veterinarians destroyed all the infected birds and disinfected local farms.
There is growing concern about the spread of the epidemic in the Mekong delta as most waterfowl are unvaccinated against bird flu.
Farmer Vo Van Buoi, whose chickens were culled due to bird flu in Hau Giang, quoted the local veterinary service, saying the disease recurred in the province as a result of the short supply of vaccines from mid-November 2012 to February 2013.
Truong Ngoc Trung, head of the provincial Animal Health Department, said Hau Giang has allocated its budget to purchase 3 million doses of the vaccine to inoculate waterfowl.
He said 3 million ducks and 200,000 chickens will have been vaccinated against the deadly H5N1 virus by the end of March.
Luu Phuoc Hau, deputy head of the Can Tho City Animal Health Department, said the city is running short of bird flu vaccines for its 1.5 million ducks.
“We are planning to purchase 6-8 million doses to vaccinate the city’s waterfowl,” said Hau.
He admitted that there is high risk of fresh bird flu outbreaks as it is difficult to control the ducks ranging between localities.
Truong Thi Kim Dung, director of the Zone 7 Animal Health Centre, insisted that bird flu has been kept under control and no new outbreaks have been reported in the region.
The region is currently feeding 23.7 million ducks and 17 million chickens.
Dung revealed that the Animal Health Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has bird flu vaccines in reserve and it will distribute the vaccines to localities if required.

H5N1 infections detected in Myanmar poultry
Authorities inspect an examination on abnormal chicken. (Photo-EMG)
Myanmar detec ted abnormal chicken deaths in poultry farms in 2012 and dead chickens were traded without permission from authorities, an official from the epidemiology section of the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department (LBVD) told Eleven Media Group.
Some townships in the country have been regarded as special zones for breeding chickens and quails. The townships include Monywa, Shwebo, Mandalay in the middle and upper Myanmar, Kyaukme and Taunggyi in Shan State, Bago region and Nyaungnapin in Yangon region.
In January 2013, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and Myanmar Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department (LBVD) had lectured the poultry owners about avian influenza in chickens and human, and surveyed the occurrence of H5N1.
According to data released by the LBVD, townships in Sagaing region and Bago region had been detected with H5N1 infections in the survey.
The chicken traders sold dead chickens in the markets without informing the authorities about the occurrence of abnormal deaths. The owners, without analysing the cause of the deaths and diagnosis, fail to sterilise and monitor the disease infections in their poultry farms, also due to lack of awareness about healthy poultry systems. Most Myanmar poultry owners are only concerned about their own wellbeing, the survey said.
Lots of chickens in poultry farms were dead simultaneously due to avian influenza, crooked neck diseases and due to the sudden high temperature.
Various birds within the poultry farms, including chicken, ducks and Muscovy ducks, were infected when hibernating birds and other wild birds entered the farms, carrying the viruses. The H5N1 contaminated battery cages, poultry syringes and chicken feeds, passing on the infection to the chickens.
The hibernating birds usually come to the farms when the weather changes from winter to summer. Chickens in farms have immune deficiency due to changes in weather and get infected by the pathogens of influenza A virus, said Dr Kyaw Naing Oo, assistant director of the epidemiology section, LBVD. http://www.elevenmyanmar.com/national/2662-h5n1-infections-detected-in-myanmar-poultry

To ensure the safety for people more effectively, the premier ordered the ministry of agriculture to continue strengthening necessary and urgent measures to prevent and eliminate the spread of H5N1 virus.
"The ministry must thoroughly and constantly inspect poultry' s health throughout the country, and carry out bio-safety and sanitary measures at all poultry farms, slaughter-houses and markets," he said in the circular. "The ministry must promote broader awareness of bird flu virus to the public."
He also instructed the ministry of agriculture and the ministry of health to continue strengthening cooperation in information exchange to take measures timely to prevent and eliminate the virus.
In addition, he ordered the ministry of interior to take a firm and urgent measure to prevent the illegal trafficking of poultry and poultry-made products in all images and at anywhere.
