Avian hits 400,000 flock
BY LAURA ENGLAND
LANCASTER Avian in
fluenza, taking its toll on Penn
sylvania’s poultry industry, again
defied the USDA quarantine
boundry and claimed a 400,000
layer hen flock in Lebanon County.
Located .outside the quarantine
zone in northern Lebanon County,
the 400,000 bird flock is the largest
flock to date diagnosed with the
avian virus. Positive diagnosis was
confirmed Tuesday on the flock
which is north of Fredericksburg.
Eradication of the flock began
Wednesday with approximately
80,000 birds depopulated. An ad
ditional 80,000 were to be
slaughtered Thursday, according
to task force spokesman Chuck
Williams.
Williams said it is not certain if
the entire flock will be depopulated
because the deadly disease in
fected only two of the six houses on
the farm. “We’re making an effort
to contain the disease within those
two houses,” he said.
Since the eradication program
began in November, task force
policy has been to kill all the birds
located on an infected premise.
In addition to this flock, three
others were confirmed with avian

flu this week. This brings the total
number of flocks to 271,
representing 11.1 million birds. As
of Thursday, 268 flocks,
representing 10.5 million birds,
were depopulated.
Williams said that 107 poultry
premises have been approved for
cleaning and disinfecting. Of these,
30 have received permits to
repopulate their houses.
Interstate Shipping
The Pennsylvania Poultry
Federation announced this week
that all egg packers shipping eggs
to other states must have par
ticipated in the poultry watch
program for at least two weeks
prior to shipping.
This is a new policy which will go
into effect March 1,1984, said Tim
Allwein, spokesman for the
Federation. “This gives
poultrymen adequate time to get
their flock on the program if not so
already,” he said.
By entering the program now,
Allwein said poultrymen will aviod
interruptions in marketing and in
service to out-of-state customers.
Over 1,200 farmers are currently
participating in the program which
aids in early detection of avian flu.

stabilizes the vacuum level," Shirk
said. "It must be sensitive and
have the capacity to handle all the
air running through the system,
therefore it is has to be as big as
the vacuum pump. It must also be
cleaned regularly to remain
sensitive.
"The regulator controls the
vacuum at the teat end,” Shirk
continued. "Fluctuations in the
vacuum level at the teat end can
cause stress and induce mastitis.
Therefore it is important to have a
sensitive vacuum regulator. The

regulator is the least sensitive. The

Shirk noted that stray voltage
can be a problem that leads to
lowered milk production and
mastitis. While humans can not
feel an electrical charge below six
volts, cows are sensitive to as little
as half a volt of electricity.

poor grounding and a variety of
other factors. Approximately 20
percent of all dairy farms have
some degree of stray voltage,
Shirk said.
We know more about stray
voltage now than we did a few
years ago, said Shirk. This allows
us to to proper ground new milking
systems when they are installed.

study the design and components
of a milking system.
