Bird flu is considered a contagious viral fatal disease that affects birds including chickens, ducks. Veterinarians say that the disease can spread through direct contact with infected birds, waste or infected materials and in rare cases, it can also be transmitted to humans.
Veterinarians suggest avoiding direct contact with sick or dead chickens, maintaining cleanliness in the poultry farm, immediately reporting any suspicious cases to the office, and consuming only properly cooked poultry products. The Veterinary Hospital and Animal Services Office has urged all stakeholders to remain vigilant and fully comply with the prescribed rules.
