Hwaseong City Implements Regional AI Prevention Education for Poultry Farms

Hwaseong City conducted quarantine and disease prevention training for poultry farms in the area on December 1st and 2nd.

Many farmers attended and showed strong interest in the quarantine training held at Jangan-myeon Office on the 1st and Nam-yang-dong Office on the 2nd.

A city official told the farmers in attendance at the training, "Please maximize prevention of contact with migratory birds by installing bird netting around farms and foot disinfection trays at each poultry house, and fundamentally block the access of migratory birds and native wild birds by removing deceased poultry and food waste near the farm that could serve as feed for migratory birds and food scraps and feed."

Since January, Hwaseong City has been conducting individual visits to breeding duck, broiler duck, and laying hen farms that are vulnerable to avian influenza quarantine, carefully checking the quarantine conditions at each farm, and immediately implementing corrections on-site for any shortcomings. The city has been providing customized quarantine training tailored to each farm's circumstances and conducting quarantine inspections.
