Odisha begins culling of poultry in Jagatsinghpur district as a preventive measure to curb the spread of avian influenza following a bird flu outbreak.

‘Following the bird flue outbreak, poultry in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district culled as a preventive measure.’

"There will be a continuous surveillance by the teams constituted by the district administration. Hardly around 2,000 poultry birds have been identified in that area and the culling will be done within three days," said F and ARD secretary Vishal Gagan. 




The district administration is providing adequate compensations to the farm owners in exchange for the culling.
The carcasses are being buried in a dump yard with all preventive measures to check the spread of the virus.
The poultry farms have been asked not sell and transport their items for a temporary period of at least three months.
On the other hand, massive awareness drive is being organised in the affected villages not to consume chicken and eggs.
