More than a million chickens have been confined since today in Navarre and Álava due to the risk of avian influenza
Poultry from 12 municipalities in Navarre and 6 in Álava must be confined from today in the face of the rise of avian influenza in Europe. The Ministry of Agriculture calls for calm but insists that we must be prudent in preventing contagion and curbing the spread of the virus.
As of today, poultry from various areas of Navarre and Álava must be confined in order to reducetherisk of infection of avian influenza . The measure imposed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food affects 1.1 million hens and prohibits the breeding of birds in the open air if the facilities do not have bird cloths or other devices to prevent contact with wild birds.
The municipalities of Álava are: Arratzua-Ubarrundia, Barrundia, Elburg, Legutio, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Zigoitia; in Navarre, Pitillas, Tudela, Arguedas, Valtierra, Viana, Corella, Murchante, Cascante, Ablitas, Barillas, Zarrakaztelu and Tafalla.
The Ministry has recalled that neither in the Basque Country nor in Navarre have infections been detected on poultry farms, but in recent weeks there has been an increase in outbreaks in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, along with bird migration and falling temperatures.
In addition to confinement, the regulations prohibit wild birds from breeding bait or ducks and geese in conjunction with other domestic species. Fairs and concentrations with birdshave also been prohibited , forcing water and food to be placed in covered areas to avoid contact with wild species.
Agriculture Minister Luis Planas calls for calm, but stresses the importance of maintaining biosecurity . "If appropriate measures are taken, we can stop the spread of the virus," he says. Planas recalls that there is no risk to humans of contagion through meat, eggs or other poultry products.
