After locating a highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in a farm located in the town of Lafitte-Vigordane in Haute-Garonne, the prefect decided immediately deploying protective measures to prevent the risk of spreading the disease from that home.

The poultry farming will be a complete slaughter, and the buildings will be cleaned and disinfected.

A regulated perimeter is set up, consisting of a protection zone of 3 km around the outbreak and a 10 km surveillance zone. The protection zone is the confinement of poultry farms, the ban on movement of animals and hatching eggs.

The surveillance zone is a clinical monitoring and conducting analyzes on farms.
Furthermore, the prefect of the Haute-Garonne requires breeders who would see a drop in productivity, abnormal mortality, respiratory symptoms, digestive or nervous, within their contact poultry without waiting for their livestock veterinarian.

It should be recalled that avian influenza is not transmissible to humans through the consumption of meat, eggs, foie gras and more generally any food product.

P or r operators and individuals with technical questions on the subject, the Departmental protecting populations has established a telephone number 05.67.69.11.20 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 12pm and 14h to 16h30).

Bird flu outbreak found outside French restriction zone

PARIS | BY SYBILLE DE LA HAMAIDE

Bird flu has been found in a French town outside a broad restriction zone, in a setback to efforts to contain the outbreak of the disease that has led a growing number of countries to ban poultry products from France.

France, the European Union's largest agricultural producer, has had 69 outbreaks of highly pathogenic bird flu in eight administrative departments in the southwestern part of the country since late November.

A case has now been found in Haute-Garonne, which is not included in the zone where the government has put in place tightened sanitary measures and restricted movement of poultry since mid-December, a farm ministry official said on Wednesday.

COMMUNIQUE


A few weeks after the detection of the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Dordogne, there are now 69 centers which are divided into 8 southwestern departments. The disease mainly affects waterfowl industry.

To recap, the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus identified presents no danger to humans but can be transmitted to other species of poultry (chickens, guinea fowl, etc.) and can eventually recombine at risk of becoming more virulent.

Faced with this situation and given the stakes both health and economic, it appears necessary to effectively and permanently eradicate the disease in waterfowl and wider industry to recover as quickly as possible free status of France for all Poultry industry.

For this, the Directorate General of Food of the Ministry of Agriculture has met this morning members of the National Advisory Board of Animal and Plant Health Policy (CNOPSAV) to discuss and validate an eradication strategy virus in three parts:

  • sustainable implementation of biosecurity measures in all poultry farms nationwide,
  • Clean geese and ducks die in the great southwestern region by the establishment of crawl spaces,
  • the implementation of enhanced surveillance strategy in the affected area and the free zone, in all links in the chain.
The professionals shared this observation and these guidelines. Concerning reorganization terms of palmip?de sector, they proposed a proactive plan that is available as follows:
  • no new establishment ducklings as of January 18, which will allow cleaner environment with the introduction of cleaning, disinfection and crawl spaces throughout the area and once the farms n 'will house more than waterfowl;
  • no preventive culling of animals during breeding. Raising ducks bands already in place will be continued to completion.
This plan will enable the re-establishment of healthy ducklings, in sanitized farms by the end of the first half. The production will be able to take to ensure, in good conditions, the festive year-end production.

St?phane LE FOLL validated these proposals and requested that a detailed plan is in place as soon as possible. He welcomed the involvement, commitment and the strong mobilization of breeders, veterinarians, professional organizations and state services.

The plan will be presented next week to the European Commission.

This will allow the implementation of the eradication strategy needed to ensure sustainability of the sector and the strengthening of trust in the European and international level.
