Difficult Situation Of Rural Veterinary Avian Influenza Prevention And Control Are Weak Grass


Outdoor temperature is minus 4 degrees, but the Ningxia area Litong Lianhu township veterinary station Ma Pei-built room, not even the fire did not rise. Webmaster's Office less than 5 square meters next to a utility room, the stacked with veterinary drugs and medical equipment.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ As the primary veterinarian for nearly 20 years of the Pei building station told reporters at the grassroots level are involved in prevention work fulfill their obligations, the higher departments allocated only for syringes, needles, alcohol, cotton and other equipment commonly used in disease prevention, but there is no labor costs and lower rural subsidy payments, giving the work is a big inconvenience.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Pei building, said Ma Lianhu township veterinary station of a village is responsible for seven prevention work, in order to do a good job, Pei built himself spent 8,000 yuan to buy a old van, a few other staff members to pay his own motorcycle car.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ In the horse Lianhu township veterinary station nine veterinary surgeons, there are four new recruits to the last large secondary school students. They are doing the hardest work of the most important, is only 300 yuan monthly wage, but have not received wages 4,5 months, while their insurance is not.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ 17:00, the sky became dark, the reporter was seen in the twilight of several young veterinary vaccination visit villages to come back. Because wages were low, in front of them out from the morning after eating a meal, this day back before dinner. Some young people have begun to be dissatisfied, they said: "The hard throughout the year, can not even feed themselves, also would like to marry a wife have children in the future?"  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Litong District in Ningxia high gate town veterinary situation very similar: in five veterinary in 3 large secondary school diploma, of which two are new recruits to the college graduates, their monthly wages are only 300.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ The one hand, college students recruited low pay, on the other hand is the cause of the preparation of the veterinary team Zhanzhao uneven. Township as part of animal husbandry and veterinary stations are former civil veterinary veterinary last century 90's, the Ministry of Agriculture introduced the "three and" policy, some people were eligible to countries on the official staff. The great majority of them only a junior high school and even primary school education, without the system of professional learning, so overall quality is not high. Through this policy into a formal lot of the old veterinary staff did not know even the word. Currently the oldest horse veterinary Lianhu township 63 years, since no clear retirement policy, they are still in the line of work, while taking up the preparation of places for young people.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Currently, 24 counties in Ningxia region, more than 300 towns, were set 388 animal epidemic prevention agencies. In district, city, county, and township-level animal epidemic prevention professionals, and administrative agency personnel a total of 2224 people. The most closely linked with the township farmers Veterinary nearly 300 workstations, the existing staff of 1,025. Although the township is the lack of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station talent, but comrades in government animal husbandry departments concerned of the veterinary work at the grassroots level alone had a hot blood, and sense of responsibility, lack of adequate physical security and attractiveness is difficult to guarantee the prevention and control of veterinary there are no major fluctuations in the network.  Ã‚ Lack veterinary office is a common problem faced. Shangrao City in Jiangxi Shangrao County Rising Sun town, animal husbandry and veterinary station house built in the station master Li Xiaowen. Li Xiaowen, said the old building in the liberation of the veterinary station, already shot to pieces, but the state has not appropriated funds to build new veterinary stations, so they work in their own homes.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Reporter learned that, with the formal establishment of veterinary Shangrao annual wage of 1,500 yuan, up in 2005 to prepare, but in an interview, the primary veterinarian is not aware of the wage increases in the end after the number.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Inadequate investment in the country circumstances, to rely on grassroots veterinary vaccine to barely beat the villagers themselves and veterinary subsidies. Li Xiaowen sit there straight-finger to press his calculations: the village of vaccination receive one dollar for each pin; annual cost of quarantine and slaughtering a pig four dollars; pay 1,500 yuan in quarantine fees more than 3000 yuan.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Although the vaccine can be part of the subsidies, but so far no specific primary state veterinary office expenses, veterinary Li Xiaowen transport more than 3000 yuan a year must pay their own, veterinary income and to pay serious disproportionate. "Veterinary bitter, veterinary tired, subsidizing work, back to back." This is Li Xiaowen often said jingle. The "back to back," meaning there are two: First, as a small state subsidies, aid to the veterinarian, who can only live with each other, and second, the state should rely on the work of veterinary epidemic prevention stations, veterinarians, or to get things done.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Jiangxi Shangrao Shishi Township, animal husbandry and veterinary stations, too. Township only two in the series of veterinary and quarantine work very hard. Webmaster Zhang Wankun and another veterinarian before 5 every morning to be rushed to the slaughterhouse and the market should go check the seal; every year to each village to make free vaccines, the annual phone bills, gasoline cost themselves have to dig more than 1000 yuan. As the shortage of veterinary officers employed by the two supernumerary, they did not pay, but by a number of quarantine fees for a living.  Ã‚ Ã‚ Ã‚ Shangrao City in Jiangxi Province is the largest poultry market, a large number of poultry exports to Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places. Xu Ming, director of animal husbandry in Shangrao over to tell reporters, Shangrao counties (cities) Quarantine and Inspection workforce generally loose, technical weak. Shangrao county-level technical staff of 6, of which 4 are near retirement age of 55 or more staff. In addition, the state requires that each town must have a livestock veterinary station, and is equipped with two medical personnel, but most of the county's townships did not build the whole animal husbandry and veterinary stations, medical personnel are mainly part-time. Ming-Man worry to say: "this situation is to prevent the biggest hidden dangers of avian flu."

Avian Influenza, USA Situation


Many people are concerned about and interested in avian influenza. USA government agencies and public health officials throughout the world are keeping a close eye on a deadly strain of avian influenza that is currently circulating in Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus far, the strain identified as H5N1 has not appeared in North or South America, though other strains of the virus have been found in poultry in the Americas. In the case of H5N1 influenza, avian injury and death has been substantial. Poultry farms have only seen weaker strains of the virus in the United States, but several flocks of chickens have had to be destroyed because of it. In hopes of preventing widespread avian influenza, USA government agencies including the US Geologic Survey and the Department of agriculture have joined together to test wild birds for the H5N1 strain. Wild birds infect domesticated birds with the virus by intermingling with them and contaminating their water supplies. Humans that are in close contact with poultry must use special precautions to avoid becoming infected. H5N1 has caused the deaths of 140 people to date. Countries throughout the world are making efforts to inform the public about safety practices that can prevent human cases of this type of influenza, avian injury and poultry losses. Scientists expect to eventually see the H5N1 bird flu in America, but it might not show up. The concern is that migratory birds from Asia could pass the H5N1 strain to migratory birds from the Americas when they both gather in Alaska. So, the avian influenza USA situation is currently focused on Alaska. Scientists believe that if they can identify H5N1 bird flu in America when it first appears, then they can contain it, before it becomes a problem to the poultry industries in the Americas. For the prevention of avian influenza, USA agencies involved will test feces and feather samples from about 150,000 wild birds, mostly waterfowl. Scientists believe that if they find H5N1 in America, it will most likely show up in the waterfowl first. In areas of the world where wild birds mingle freely with domesticated birds influenza avian injury and deaths are substantial. USDA regulations in America as well as poultry industry standards decrease the likelihood that it will become a very large problem in the United States. Large poultry farmers in the USA are now and always have been concerned about bird influenza, avian injury and destruction of flocks can always be necessary, no matter what the strain. They take precautions to protect their birds, because their birds are their livelihood. Enclosures are designed to keep their birds in and wild birds out. Workers wear protective suits, boots and head coverings for bird flu prevention and to prevent other diseases from contaminating the poultry. While no efforts can guarantee that the avian influenza USA situation will not worsen, farmers, scientists and government agencies throughout the world are making efforts to identify and contain outbreaks quickly. If you are concerned about bird flu prevention for you and your family, take the same precautions that you would always take to protect yours and your family's health. Cook meat thoroughly. Wash hands, cooking utensils, counter tops or cutting boards that have touched raw meat thoroughly. Eat right, get plenty of rest, take your vitamins and make efforts to maintain a healthy immune system.

The choice of the right chicken breed for your situation

Your success or failure as a chicken raiser depends strongly on your choice of Rassen.Aber or before you should head to the nearest farm for sale, first determine the purpose of your operation. Are you chicken-raising, as a hobby? Are you into to produce chicken? Or is it the eggs that you want? Is it warm in the farm? Or is it cold?The answers to these questions determine your choice of chicken breed. There are many breeds of chickens on the market, but each of them has striking differences on the egg production color, temperament, meat production, Broodiness, foraging, egg habits and survival. aside from the fact you must determine your list to your needs to return.If egg layer is desired, perhaps the Livorno for you work. Leghorns, white eggs are well produced. They are good in the feed, so that they reach an ideal choice for free situations. They are however not so broody than some of the other races, so that they not ideal if you want to raise chickens in the farm.They need to watch them also if they are on free range. You will be expected to because of its white color by birds of prey such as hawks, picked off are. Docile hens like buff Orpington, are also in fear of Crouch, rather than scamper away to protect search, if a predator they Stiele.Wenn it an aggressive race, what you want is you can go then for a Dutch. However, the disadvantage is that it hunts children.Children can better the Bantam, appreciate the good pet or map bird makes. This breed is small, agile and fast and can be captured by a predator not without further ADO. It contains tiny eggs that children would love to have for dinner. Because of its size but it is not means for meat and egg production. As a rule of thumb is birds, which are not productive as good meat producers layers are known.Include the most eggs and poultry meat for the American consumer today of a few highly specialized breeds of the commercial poultry industry uses.This is a result of the disappearance of family farms that used thousands of flocks of chickens to the House. Although they can lay more eggs and breeds produce more meat than the older farm commercial breeds have lost certain characteristics, such as ability, forage, longevity, tolerance to extreme cold or heat, predator avoidance and Broodiness or set and hatch eggs.So, should you choose at last, what breed? If it is the healthier free range layer that you want to raise, then you go for races, known for their skill as the Livorno transfer optimum egg. It you broilers for meat, want to increase, then you should go for a Rhode Iceland. Another aspect is the breed of the natural Veranlagung.Aber still is important should a race of tolerance to hot or cold climate. If your farm is done, be in a cold zone, would be best for a race who can tolerate freezing temperatures and lay their eggs can even in the cold of winter.
