A flock of ducks owned by Trinh Van Thuat in Tien Tien hamlet, Thach Quy ward, Ha Tinh province died en masse after being infected with bird flu virus, confirmed the Head of the provincial Veterinary Department, Pham Thanh Binh on January 21.
When almost all of this family’s ducks died suddenly in 3 days from January 17-19, the provincial Veterinary Department took a test sample and the result showed positive for the H5N1 virus.
Mr. Thuat’s family was feeding 550 ducks in preparation for the Lunar New Year festival when over 400 of them died and many others also fell sick.
The provincial Veterinary Department decided to destroy the remaining ducks of this household and has implemented measures to constrain the disease. Quarantine stations have been set up in Thach Quy ward to monitor and control the transport of fowl from this locality.
After calculating the number of people who had contact with this flock of ducks, the provincial Preventive Healthcare Centre has disseminated instructions on how to prevent the disease from being transmitted to humans.
