Bird flu detected in Hetauda
Bagamati, April 29 (RSS): Bird flu (H5N1) has been detected
at a poultry farm in Hetauda, the capital of Bagmati Province. The detection
has led to the destruction of 3,453 poultries, 580 eggs and 50 kg of bird feed
from the farm operated at Nagaswoti of Hetauda sub-metropolis-7.
The Veterinary Hospital and
Livestock Service Expert Center Makwanpur said a team also comprising technical
force was mobilised to destroy the products.
Samples from the farm were sent to
Kathmandu for laboratory tests following the deaths of a noticeable number of
poultries on the farm a week ago and it was confirmed to be bird flu on
Thursday, the Center said.
However, the sample test on the
neighbouring farms has come negative. It said the farmer will be compensated
for the loss at the government level.
