More than 40,000 ducks and chickens have been culled in Kavre due to bird flu infection so far. The District Animal Service Office, Dhulikhel, has stated that 40,729 commercially raised ducks and layer chickens have been culled. 

Dr. Bajrakishor Thakur, senior veterinarian at the office, informed that ducks and chickens were culled due to bird flu infection in some poultry farms of Banepa Municipality-6 and 13, Panauti Municipality-7, 8 and 9. According to him, the initial conclusion has been drawn that the infection has spread further through crows and other wild birds due to the tendency to throw dead chickens and ducks in rivers, bushes and other open places. Senior veterinarian Thakur said that the office has intensified testing, management and transportation control work to control the infection.

Especially since the results of laboratory tests are received late, the provincial and local levels have not been able to take necessary steps in time, which is why the infection rate is increasing. Emphasizing the need for strict implementation of biosecurity standards in commercial poultry farms, Thakur urged to prevent the entry of unnecessary people into the chicken coop, adopt safety measures if entry is necessary, keep the coop and equipment clean regularly, and follow complete hygiene standards while transporting chickens.

It is reported that monitoring and control of chickens being transported without testing and illegally at the Nala, Roshi and Khawa check posts in the district has been tightened.
