As many as 35,000 chicken have died in 20 days at Melakera in Humnabad taluk, sending shockwaves among those in the poultry farming industry.

A total of 8,000 chicken had died on a single day at a poultry farm at Melakera on April 17. Ramesh Gupta, proprietor of Arunodaya Poultry Farm, said that initially he thought that the deaths might be due to the intense heat.

He got the chicken treated, but that did not help. The chicken are dying at the rate of 500-600 per day. Gupta said that he had brought the matter to the notice of the officials concerned.

...
Measures have been put in place to ensure that the one lakh plus chicken are culled immediately and the eggs are destroyed and buried to contain the spread of the disease,? said Dr Patil.

As a precautionary measure, those who came in contact with chicken will undergo medical examination and will be given Tamiflu tablets.

S Goa bans poultry from Karnataka


MARGAO: South Goa district collector Swapnil Naik issued a notification banning the import of all types of birds, including poultry fowls from Karnataka to avert the possibility of bird flu occurring in the state. There have been confirmed cases of bird flu in Karnataka's Bidar district.

Naik told TOI that the notification was issued on July 21 and once he received a review report, he will decide the future course of action.


Prices of poultry items in the state could rise in the next few days following the ban.

"After a laboratory in Pune confirmed the cases of bird flu in Karnataka's Bidar district, the report was sent to the Directorate of Animal Husbandry cautioning the Goa government from importing birds from that area. Presently, there has been no case reported of any bird flu transmission to humans, it is only the birds," said the district magistrate.
