Minister of Agriculture: Possibility of avian flu outbreak

Sun Zhengcai, Minister of Agriculture, said on August 15 that a comprehensive analysis of the epidemic situation at home and abroad has made it possible for bird flu and highly pathogenic blue-ear ear disease to occur in parts of China in autumn and winter. If prevention and control are not in place, there is a potential threat of outbreaks and epidemics.

Sun Zhengcai said that the major animal epidemic pathogens are highly contaminated. This year, 26 provinces have had highly pathogenic PRRS. Poultry and pigs have a high proportion of free-range pigs, poor feeding conditions, extensive management, and difficulty in epidemic prevention; Reimbursement of newly-replenished livestock and poultry in accordance with regulations has the phenomenon of leakage; China's live livestock and poultry transportation transactions are frequent, and the risk of long-distance transfer of live livestock and poultry causes an outbreak still exists; in some areas, township and township institutions are not sound, and rural and village vaccination There is no guarantee of staff funding and prevention and control work cannot be fully implemented.

Sun Zhengcai stressed that the key to preventing and controlling major animal diseases is to do a good job of immunization. The animal husbandry and veterinary departments at all levels must effectively organize the immunization work against bird flu, foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic blue-ear disease and swine fever, and ensure that the centralized immunization work in the fall is completed before mid-November, and the immune density of livestock and poultry should be avoided to achieve 100 %. Organize vaccine ordering and supply, strengthen quality supervision, and ensure immunity needs.

In order to further strengthen the monitoring of the epidemic, the Ministry of Agriculture has conducted regular and fixed-point monitoring of bird flu and blue ear disease since August. Sun Zhengcai requested the livestock and veterinary departments around the country to strictly follow the monitoring plan, insist on the combination of daily monitoring and emergency monitoring, and combine comprehensive monitoring with fixed-point monitoring. The provinces of the Southern Water Network region shall further strengthen monitoring of bird flu and increase the number and frequency of monitoring of poultry in key areas such as poultry farms, trading markets, and habitats for migratory birds; and the provinces in the northwestern provinces shall focus on strengthening monitoring of foot-and-mouth disease in breeding farms and large scale breeding communities.
