The research work of the National Poultry Research Program, Parwanipur, has been affected after all the birds raised for research died of bird flu. Bird flu was first seen in the birds of the program premises in the last week of Chaitra.
Office Information Officer Kham Bahadur Praja said that bird flu was first seen in turkeys on 21 Chaitra and later spread to other birds. 'Initially, one and a half dozen turkeys died in one night,' he said, 'Then it started spreading to other birds as well, and after laboratory tests, bird flu was confirmed.' He said that some of the surviving birds and bird-related items were destroyed on 1 Baisakh. About 1,200 chickens of Giriraj, New Hampshire, Black Stirlop etc. breeds, 2,000 chicks, 33 partridges, 47 turkeys, 500 quails have died. 4,000 eggs have been destroyed. Praja informed that 835 kg L-1, 455 kg L-2 and 1835 kg L-3 feed were also destroyed.
Although it is not yet clear from where the bird flu entered the center, Praja says that it is estimated that it spread through the feed. He said that the initial estimate is that the total damage to the office is about 5 million rupees.
After the bird flu was detected, all the cleaning and disinfection work including cleaning the rooms where the birds were kept, filling the manure, sprinkling lime, and burning firewood to destroy the germs is being done.
For now, the program premises are empty of birds and the research has been stopped. However, he said that preparations are being made to start the research soon, even if it is by bringing birds from other centers. "Our efforts are ongoing to resume the stalled research work, even if it is by bringing birds from other centers," he said. "Also, we can bring birds raised from chicks that some bird keepers have taken from us."
