Specialists cannot yet determine the source of bird flu that has hit Poland's poultry farms.
Direct speech: “We have not yet established the source of infection with bird flu,” said Dr. Miroslav Wielz, deputy chief veterinarian, who visits poultry farms located in the infected area (designated in the area where the virus was detected) in Ostrow Wozyat (Greater Poland Voivodeship) ”on Saturday.” .
In Topola Osiedl, bird flu spread to a poultry farm, which killed 65 thousand laying hens.
In connection with the detection of the disease, veterinary services began an investigation in the protection and surveillance zone within a radius of 10 km. The events covered 31 poultry farms in Ostrow district.
Miroslav Weltz said that veterinary services are still looking for the causes of bird flu.
Ornithologist Joe Edgra has proven that hens have feelings and are able to demonstrate them. They are sad away from home, show sympathy or antipathy and can empathize.
Direct speech: “Epizootic investigations are ongoing, and we are responding quickly to prevent the infectious agent from getting into these infected farms,” he said.
According to Waelz, it is difficult to determine the reasons. Wild birds are the most common source, he said. The doctor believes that farmers should follow biosafety measures, that is, follow procedures and common sense.
He recalled that before entering the room where the bird is kept, you need to put on protective clothing and prevent outsiders from entering the farm. In his opinion, the risk of transmission of the disease to poultry should be minimized taking into account, for example, feeding places for chickens, especially on small farms.
Cases of any disease in poultry should be reported immediately to the powiat veterinarian, he concluded.
