Avian flu
(Continued from Page Al)
procedures will take place, Hoff
man said. One of these changes is
to send the same inspection team
to the same poultry house. This
will allow for similar in
terpretation of the cleaning and
disinfecting.
To date, only two houses have
passed full task force inspection,
Hoffman said. These houses must
remain idle for 30 days before the
farmer receives indemnity
payments and before the houses
can be repopulated.
Also discussed at the meeting
were procedures that need to be
completed before the quarantine
can be lifted. While Hoffman
stressed that this does not mean
the quarantine will be lifted soon,
procedures, which include
collecting data and writing reports
on flock sampling and
depopulation, must begin now.
In other updates:
- Three turkey flocks in Virginia
were diagnosed with the avian flu
virus, although, it had not been
determined if the virus was of the
highly pathogenic strain. The
flocks were marked for
depopulation, according to of
ficials from the Virgina Depart
ment of Agriculture.
- An amendment to Senate Bill 87
to provide $1 million in funds for
state poultrymen hit with avian flu
is still in consideration and is
expected to pass both houses. The
amendment, drafted by Senator
Noah Wenger, Lancaster County,
will provide the $1 million in ad
dition to $216,000 from the in
demnity budget for birds lost
through depopulation measures
