All commercial and backyard poultry producers, regardless of the size of their flocks, are urged to review the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s biosecurity measures to ensure flocks are protected from exposure.
Although no cases have been reported here, animal health officials are looking into a potential case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5) in a domestic flock in Conception Bay South. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been notified. All commercial and backyard poultry producers, regardless of the size of their flocks, are urged to review the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s biosecurity measures to ensure flocks are protected from exposure. Symptoms include lack of energy, movement and appetite, decreased egg production, swelling, coughing, tremors, and sudden death. Prevent contact between poultry and wild birds or other animals. Frequently clean coops, feeders and waterers, clothing and boots. Keep new birds separate from your flock for at least 30 days to avoid introducing disease.
