Highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) has been confirmed for the second time in Anseong City, Gyeonggi Province.
According to the Gyeonggi Province Quarantine and Disease Control Headquarters on the 13th, avian influenza was confirmed at a poultry farm in Shinbong-ri, Ilchuk-myeon, Anseong City, which raises 14,800 meat ducks after suspected cases were reported on the 11th.
The Shinbong-ri farm reported suspected avian influenza after approximately 70 ducks died en masse.
The provincial quarantine headquarters culled the ducks at the Shinbong-ri farm and decided to cull chickens and ducks at two neighboring farms within a 500-meter radius on the same day.
The two farms include a chicken farm raising 27,000 birds and a duck farm raising 8,800 birds.
In particular, within a 3-kilometer radius, which is a high-risk zone for the avian influenza outbreak farm in Shinbong-ri, there are a total of 10 farms including 8 chicken farms (approximately 500,000 birds) and 2 duck farms (approximately 48,000 birds).
Shinbong-ri, where avian influenza was confirmed for the second time in the province, is located 27 kilometers away from the initial outbreak site at a meat duck farm in Shinheung-ri, Seoun-myeon, Anseong City.
Meanwhile, the quarantine headquarters is making all-out efforts to prevent the spread of avian influenza by installing quarantine checkpoints to restrict movement.
