Kendrapada: Five poultry farmers of Derabish block in Odisha’s Kendrapada district have been quarantined, following the death of chickens in their farms, said sources.
Health department officials on Tuesday collected samples of the farmers and directed them to be in home quarantine.
It may be noted that nearly 2,000 chickens have been in Kendrapada and the carcasses buried in deep pits lined with lime after an outbreak of avian flu was confirmed in the district.
The High Security Laboratory in Bhopal reported that 10 dead chickens from Andara and Balia panchayats tested positive for the H5N1 strain, district veterinary officials said.
To prevent further spread, authorities have vaccinated many poultry birds across the district and are encouraging farmers to vaccinate their flocks at nearby veterinary dispensaries, the sources added.
