been voluntary. As of press dead
line Friday morning, there had
I been no agreement with the owner
|>f the flock to depopulate. Howev
er, the state’s Poultry Health
Advisory Committee has recom
mended the birds be destroyed,
noted Van Buskirk.
The cause of the appearance of
A.I. in yet another flock in the
county was unknown. Biosecurity
has been enforced within the quar
antine area and is working. But
state poultry experts did indicate,
however, that the close proximity
of the buildings to the original out
break may play a great role in dis
ease transmission. In the case of
nearby outbreaks, wind currents
and wild fowl could end up being
the culprits.

In Quarantine
There have been no other sus
pect flocks identified as of Friday
morning, according to Buskirk.
However, the confirmation of yet
another flock with A.I. is “reset
ting the clock” on the expected
timeframe, if officials decide to
end the quarantine. It could be
until mid-August or even into Sep
tember when the quarantine could
be lifted.
Buskirk said on Wednesday
morning that the Spread of the vir
us bears similarity with the out
break in the summer of 1983, when
six flocks were identified in June
and six in July. The weather pat
terns were also similar.
Commercial growers still can do
more to promote biosecurity.
Biosecurity is, by far, the most

important thing, noted Buskiik.
The virus continues to spread to
farms “in spite of the hot tempera
tures.” said Buskiik, which this
week soared well into the 90s.
Eight flocks in Lancaster Coun
ty have now been identified posi
tive for the virus. Previously, two
flocks in Lebanon County were
affected. The total number of birds
infected for the two counties is
more than 1 million.
The 7S-square-mile quarantine
zone went into effect May 16. The
quarantine, for all fowl, will
remain in effect indefinitely.
Last week Gov. Tom Ridge
signed into a law a bill to appropri
ate $5 million to provide financial
assistance to Lancaster and Leba
non county poultry producers
affected by the virus. Most of the
money will be used to reimburse
poultry owners for one-third the
value of the destroyed flocks.
Funds also will be available to pay
for the cleaning and sanitizing of
the houses, for the disposal of
infected birds, and for other pre
ventative and control measures.
Also, consideration has been
give to provide a vaccine to poultry
to protect them from A. 1., but the
state does not have authority from
USDA to use the vaccine at this
time, according to Van Buskirk.
