Fresh Cases of Bird Flu Confirmed in Plateau State
A fresh outbreak of Avian Influenza, otherwise known as bird flu, has been confirmed in Plateau State, with six farms affected so far. The fresh cases were first reported to the Ministry of Health on January 8.
A statement signed by the state’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Doris Bitrus, noted the farms host a total of 10,000 birds.
Poultry farmers and live bird marketers have therefore been advised to step up bio-safety and hygienic measures within and around their farms and markets, as government takes measures to curb the spread of the disease.
The public have also been warned to avoid the sale, slaughter and consumption of sick birds and ensure chicken products are properly cooked before consumption.
