Although the test in the Malang Health Laboratory said positive the bird flu virus, but the citizen still apparently reluctantly was handing over his chicken to be destroyed. Therefore, Muspika Puger ended the Friday prayer yesterday gathered the raising citizen the chicken. They were given by counselling by the sub-district head, kapolsek, and Danramil in the Rokim house, the citizen of the Village Krajan East, the Bagon Village, the Puger Subdistrict.

The sub-district head Puger Sunjoto asked, the citizen had the awareness would the bird flu danger. Apart from to the poultry, this illness the danger attacked humankind. The impact of the attack to humankind, continued he, deadly and this happened in several areas. "Therefore, I requested his awareness. Hand over fathers's chicken for the sake of the safety of your life personally. Later, will get Rp compensation 10 thousand for one chicken, although not immediately was handed over," he added.

This was known after the Depok agricultural Service did rapid test against two chickens that a rust and 30 chickens that died suddenly in the Kampung Pondo Ketir [village], Sawangan, a last week.

The chicken belonging to Dewa and Mamat, the local citizen. After the sample of blood was sent to the Veteriner Research Hall (Balitvet) Bogor, the two chickens were at once destroyed with 30 chickens that have died first.

Experts say bird flu effort still far from success

Experts say bird flu effort still far from success
August 12, 2006
Tb. Arie Rukmantara, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Animal health experts are casting doubt on the government's claim that it has done its utmost to curb the spread of the H5N1 avian flu virus among poultry, saying that the number of fowl culled and inoculated lags far behind the number infected.

"The millions of chickens being killed is a lot, but proportionally, it's not so much as to cut the chain of virus transmission," Indonesian Veterinary Association chairman Budi Tri Akoso said Friday.

The government claimed Wednesday it had culled almost 29 million fowls and vaccinated more than 260 million chickens over the last two years, in response to international criticism that it had been unwilling to carry out mass culling .

Budi said since bird flu is found in almost all of Indonesia's provinces, infecting many of the country's estimated one billion chickens, that number is small.

"That's why we keep seeing new cases of bird flu emerge," he said.

He added that the government could not claim success on its poultry vaccination drive because field workers use eight different kinds of vaccine.

"The government should choose just one type," he suggested. "The more vaccines we use the more likely they are to endanger other creatures."

Animal experts believe that the use of a variety of vaccines to curb the spread of H5N1 among animals might cause certain strains of the virus to become more robust and resistant to vaccines.

He also lamented the absence of standard procedures in poultry slaughtering, saying that each region used different methods to cull chickens.

"I know of one region that killed chickens by dumping them in a big hole and burning them without killing them first," he said, adding that such methods violated international guidelines for the humane killing of animals for disease control purposes.

Agriculture Ministry officials have established protocols that address the timing and range of fowl slaughtering, vaccination and disinfection spraying, but do not specify methods of killing.

I Putu Widhiantara, a communication officer for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which is partnering with the Agriculture Ministry in addressing bird flu outbreaks, believes there is still much to be done to cut the chain of H5N1 transmission among poultry.

"The government has killed many chickens, but that doesn't mean it's enough, because according to data from the National Commission on Bird Flu, Indonesia has 435 million chickens living in backyard farms," he said. He added that most of the H5N1-infected fowl were found in backyard farms.

FAO is helping the government achieve three essential goals in its campaign against bird flu: detecting possible H5N1 outbreaks, containing the virus from spreading to wider areas, and preventing the reemergence of the virus in areas where poultry have been culled.

Because of this suspicion, specimens were collected from the patient and sent for testing. Results received on 12 August were positive for H5N1 infection. The patient is presently recovering.


A thorough field investigation found that chicken and duck deaths occurred in the patient’s household and neighborhood during the week prior to symptom onset. The case reportedly had direct contact with diseased chickens during the disposal of carcasses.


The investigation also obtained information about a 20-year-old male who lived in a neighbouring household where chickens were also dying. The man developed symptoms on 26 July and sought care at the local health centre on 5 August. He died of respiratory disease on 6 August, before arrangements could be made for transfer to hospital and before samples could be taken for testing.
