Bouira

Newcastle disease decimating poultry sector

the 07/23/16 | 10:00
...
According to our sources, no fewer than 65 000 broilers were decimated since the beginning of the current month in poultry houses in the municipalities of Maala, Guerrouma and Lakhdaria by this contagious epidemic. The same sources also indicate that the disease has reached the barns of Sour El Ghozlane, south of the wilaya of Bouira. Newcastle disease is manifested by respiratory and nerve problems in affected chickens.
...
"Our losses are enormous. Every day they increase further. Unfortunately, DSA Bouira has not taken the measures necessary to counter this disease," says a chicken farmer from the infected area. To get rid of dead chickens, breeders conduct their open burning.

However, according to sources from the DSA Bouira, the high mortality in poultry is due to the heatwave raging since several days in Bouira. For his part, the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, said last Thursday that an investigation is underway to shed light on the sale of meat of sick chickens in processing plants. Remember, Newcastle disease has already appeared in 2002 in the wilaya of Bouira. Da?ra Lakhdaria ranked second nationally in production of white meat, with 500,000 quintals per year.

Poultry: Infectious bronchitis at the origin of the epidemic

the 07/25/16 | 10:00

The recent appearance of an unidentified disease affecting poultry farming caused damage to some breeders of the wilaya of Bouira.

Fearing the spread of the epidemic, officials of the department of agriculture have developed a plan mainly aimed at identifying the disease and reassuring consumers. The DSA Bouira, with whom we had a meeting yesterday on this subject, formally denied the existence of a disease called "Newcastle" and that is the cause of damage recorded on farms located in the municipalities of west of Bouira.

"The analyzes in the laboratory level confirmed that the causes of this mortality are due to infectious bronchitis has reached those poultry production, especially in the town of Guerrouma" said the DSA, explaining that this is due mainly to non-compliance with sanitary conditions favoring the spread of contagious diseases.

The number of subjects with this disease does not exceed 3000, said the same official, who said that this disease was declared July 14 and hit farms (laying hens, chicks ...) of the municipality of Guerrouma, on the heights of Lakhdaria. "We have mobilized all our means and initiated awareness campaigns to encourage farmers to follow especially the official vaccination protocol and ensure all the hygienic conditions in order to avoid the emergence of other infectious diseases, especially in this period marked by high temperatures. "

For its part, the veterinary inspector of the province, Oulebsir Nora, informed that these diseases may be caused in the event of non-compliance of the vaccination protocol. The lack of a sanitary barrier has always favored the emergence of diseases affecting different farms, as was the case for sheep where the herd was almost completely decimated the past year by FMD.

BOUIRA THE SPREAD OF NEWCASTLE DISEASE CIRCUMSCRIBED

The DSA's insurance

"The spread of Newcastle disease has been completely contained and the situation is fully controlled", that is at least what we said yesterday, the director of agricultural services (DSA) of the wilaya of Bouira, El -Djoudi Guenoun.

According to the same official, both diseases have affected recently henhouses of da?ra Lakhdaria north of the wilaya of Bouira. This is first of Infectious bronchitis that developed thereafter in Newcastle disease. Asked about the origin of the virus, Mr. Guenoun assured that several factors have caused the disease, starting with the failure of the vaccination record of poultry flocks, the heat wave and the non-compliance with hygiene standards . "This disease is mainly due to two factors are the lack of hygiene in and outside the barns and the failure of vaccination by poultry farmers. The heat wave in the last 10 days the region has also led to the emergence and spread of this disease, "he assured. The same official also stated that these services have been mobilized since the early days of the onset of this disease and have managed to eliminate the virus in question. "We mobilized teams of three veterinarians from the first days of the onset of this disease. Our teams have developed an action plan, which has proved very effective and they managed, in record time, first to stop the spread and then isolating the foci of the disease and ultimately eliminate outright . Currently, our services are still hard to open at the scene, and to combat possible reappearance of this virus. Basically, I can assure you that the situation is fully controlled. The next step we are going to start tomorrow will be an awareness campaign and orientation in favor of poultry farmers in the province to prevent similar scenarios, particularly during this period of hot weather, "he emphasized. Regarding losses during this period, our interlocutor who wanted to minimize the mortality of chickens, assured that its services are currently undergoing a detailed report with the exact number of chickens decimated. The DSA held, moreover, to reassure citizens of the wilaya of Bouira about the consumption of white meat. According to him, consumption of white meat and eggs poses no risk to human health. "Unlike bird flu, the virus in question can in no case infect humans. The consumption of white meat and eggs can also present a risk to public health, "he concluded.
