Cavan: Poultry farm owners have been ordered to house their birds in cages since Monday, November 7, as the number of bird flu cases has increased in wild birds.
The order was issued this morning in the Minister of Agriculture Charlie McConnell, under animal health and welfare regulations. Poultry farm management is requested to be cautious around their group and maintain strict bio-security measures.
The proposal came after confirming the latest case of the discovery of a dead Swan, which was affected by bird flu yesterday in County Cavan. The second confirmed HPAI H5NI epidemic was discovered a few days ago in a limited group in Wicklow later last month. The case was also reported in Sutton, County Dublin last month.
H5N1 type avian influenza spreads among wild-sea birds. Chicken products, including meat and eggs, should be properly cooked, safe to eat, and do not harm people in relation to the use of poultry or poultry products. The Department of Agriculture stated in the statement that the H5N1 subtype can cause serious illness in poultry and other birds, although it is estimated that infection in humans is minimal.
It advised the public to report sick or dead wild birds or pets to their local veterinary office or to the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine through the Avian Influenza Wildbird App. The public was also advised to avoid dealing with infected or dead wild birds or pets.
With the help of Bird Watch Ireland, National Parks, Wildlife Service and the National Association of Regional Game Councils, there is an early warning system for seeking disease symptoms in wild birds.
According to Niall Hatch, the communications development chief of the Bird Observatory Ireland, the Department of Agriculture's response to the disease was not sufficient to spread to domestic birds.
People expected something to happen from that information, ” he added. But only a limited amount of testing was done, and everything that was done was established in Ireland that there was the disease, but there was very little information about what should happen to the dead body of that bird. He said that if the sick dead bodies were abandoned on the beaches, animals and others would eat them and the risk of disease spread would increase. He claimed that working as soon as possible would prevent the spread of wild birds and reduce the effect of poultry. According to him, the pressure on bird influenza can spread to mammals such as dogs, foxes, otters and turtles and other countries where previous stresses exist, and humans may also get sick.
"Bird influenza" "This is very contagious," people have high caution." If it enters a bird house, Game Over ” ". Chicken producers responded.
From midnight on Monday, November 7, an observational order was issued similar to all chickens and other animals raised in the cage, such as in England, Ireland. Since the end of October 2021, more than 200 cases of avian influenza ( bird flu have been reported in the UK.
