Drive to cull 1 lakh fowls begins
A team from District Livestock Office are seen culling a chicken at Kazi Breeders in Thakurgaon yesterday, following bird flu outbreak at the poultry farm. Photo: STAR
Our Correspondent, Thakurgaon District Livestock Department yesterday started a drive to cull over one lakh poultry birds and destroy two lakh of eggs at Yakubpur branch of Kazi Breeders Limited here to stop the the spread of bird flu virus.
Officials of the department said they will cull about 117,626 parent chickens and destroy about 210,000 eggs.
District Livestock Officer (DLO) Mosaddekur Rahman told The Daily Star that the drive would continue for two or three days.
Addressing a press conference at the company's office at Tamanna Villa of the town, Managing Director of the farm Zahedul Hasan said his farm incurred a total loss of Tk 34.09 crore due to spread of bird flu virus.
Zahedul suspected that the bird flu virus might be transmitted from recently imported eggs from India.
After the bird flu attack at Murshidabad in West Bengal, the government gave permission to import 20 crore eggs from India defying its rules that any poultry goods can not be imported from poultry industries of any country where bird flu has broken out, he alleged.
He said that they are very anxious for their other 19 farms in the district and Panchagarh after the spread of the virus.
The DLO said they have already taken necessary measures to stop spread of the flu to other farms and chickens. They also supplied medicine to the poultry farms through their workers, he added.
"The only security we have is our ability to adapt."Comment

Chief Secretary Lalthara said in a notification issued yesterday that the government had imposed the ban as a preventive measure and it would continue till further notice.
This is the second ban, after the first one was lifted in September last year.
Murshidabad district Animal Husbandry Deputy Director Kamdev Sardar said today that about two lakh birds had been culled in two blocks during January and February this year.
Presently, the district is free from bird flu, but the authority is yet to get a certificate to this effect from the Centre, he said.
