It is worth noting that this is another avian influenza epidemic after the outbreak of H5N 1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza in Shuangqing District, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province.
So how should we deal with the continuous occurrence of avian influenza in poultry? The Information Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released on February 9 that an epidemic of poultry infected with H5N6 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza occurred in Xichong County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province.
It is worth noting that this is another avian influenza epidemic after the outbreak of H5N 1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza in Shuangqing District, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province.
So how should we deal with the continuous occurrence of avian influenza in poultry?
What happened to the bird flu in Sichuan?
According to the report of China Animal Disease Prevention and Control Center, confirmed by the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory, poultry raised in a farm in Xichong County, Sichuan Province suffered from H5N6 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza, with 2,497 poultry in the farm and 0/.840 dead.
After the outbreak, the local authorities should do a good job in handling the epidemic according to the relevant plans and technical specifications for prevention and control. 226/kloc-0 poultry were culled, and all the dead and culled poultry were treated harmlessly.
In what ways can bird flu infect people?
1, in close contact with infected birds;
2. Close contact with the secretions and excretions of infected birds;
3. Direct contact with avian influenza virus.
The way to avoid it is to buy the products of regular slaughter manufacturers, cook them thoroughly when eating, and don't touch live birds (or dead birds) and their secretions and excretions.
How to deal with continuous avian influenza in poultry?
Relevant experts said that the actual impact of bird flu on the overall market will not be too great, mainly on consumer psychology.
The frequent occurrence of symptoms of avian influenza is because some small and medium-sized farmers do not have perfect defensive measures.
But in fact, H5N6, H5N 1 and H7N9 avian influenza are all controlled by vaccines in China.
For example, it is suggested that the whole transportation process must ensure the completeness of epidemic prevention and disinfection measures, and there must be stable channels for the upstream and downstream supply and slaughter of chickens.
In addition, the risk exposure should be reduced during the feeding process, closed management should be adopted, and chickens should not have too much contact with external poultry.
The other is to do a good job in disinfection measures for personnel and do a good job in overall epidemic prevention.
It should be noted that the high incidence of avian influenza was originally in winter and spring, but under the influence of the new pneumonia epidemic in the same period, many live poultry markets were closed, which significantly reduced the contact between people and live poultry and effectively avoided human infection.
At the same time, under the pneumonia epidemic, people go out less, which in itself reduces the transmission routes of various infectious diseases.
It is expected that the virus is less likely to spread.
