The Central Highland province of Kon Tum announced on March 5 that it has contained the bird flu epidemic in Bo Y commune, Ngoc hoi district, and disbanded temporary checkpoints in the locality.
The disease was detected at a farm in Dak Me village, Bo Y commune several weeks ago, where 14 ducks were found sick or dead. Local authorities and veterinarians culled nearly 2,000 ducks and chickens and their products.
The provincial Animal Health Department disinfected farms in the commune and established checkpoints to ban the transport of poultry to and from the affected area. It also launched a communication campaign and vaccinated 5,000 poultry in the commune.
The outbreak has been contained in Bo Y and has not spread to neighbouring localities, said Tran Van Chuong, head of the provincial Animal Health Department.
The provincial People’s Committee has asked its relevant departments to intensify measures to prevent bird flu recurring.
