Bird flu infected chicken ‘disappear’

Poultry farm owner claims he destroyed them; Officials suspect foul play

KATHMANDU, DEC 26 -

When a rapid response team of experts, armed with chemicals and equipment, arrived at Surendra Man Basnet’s poultry farm in Bafal on Tuesday, there were shocked to discover the absence of any chicken.

Basnet, who runs the Manju Feed and Poultry Industries located at Ramkot-6 of Kathmandu, was forewarned that a government team was on its way to destroy all specimens of his bird flu infected poultry. He managed to disappear every single chicken he owned. “I killed and disposed of them all,” was Basnet’s short reply to the incredulous team, who believe that Basnet sold off his stock of avian-flu ridden chicken.

The Central Veterinary Laboratory at Tripureshwor had confirmed the presence of avian flu in the farm on Sunday. It is estimated that the farm accommodated around 2,500 chickens. Although the chicken were nowhere to be seen, the team of experts managed to destroy over 19,000 eggs from the farm’s storage.

“We disinfected the site but we can’t be sure about chickens, although the owner claims to have already killed them all,” said Dr Narayan Ghimire, senior veterinary doctor at the Department of Livestock (DoL).
