Nor have any signs of the disease been noted in that portion of the zone east of the river, where surveillance remains in effect into the spring. Stressing that the recent out break is no reason for panic in the industry, Jay Irwin urged poultrymen to view the problem. • ‘calmly yet critically.” “The thing that concerns me,” said Irwin, “is that we’ve got to tighten up our bio-security.” The extension director stressed the importance of disinfecting all footwear before entering and leaving poultry houses, and cautioned poultrymen to lock all doors to unauthorized personnel. Though concern has been ex pressed about the possibility of spreading vims through the up coming Farm Show poultry exhibits, Irwin feels that the event poses no threat as long as those farmers participating and at tending take the proper precautions. He stressed cleanliness before traveling to the Farm Show, as well as when returning home. Following a Farm Show visit, Irwin advised poultrymen to bath and clean clothing and footwear at a location other than their home farms. He also pointed out that this year’s Farm Show poultry health certification program includes a mandatory blood test for avian influenza. Maryland poultrymen escaped relatively unscathed during last year’s flu outbreak in neighboring Pa. A 900-bird flock in Carroll County was depopulated in Oc tober, 1983, and a second flock of 60,000 birds was destroyed in January of last year. USDA veterinarian, Nancy Wiswall, stated that federal in demnity money will be available for losses incurred during the current outbreak.
