Vietnam: bird flu outbreaks infect 5,000 chickens


(MENAFN) A local agriculture center declared that Vietnam's central Quang Nam province has lately recorded two H5N6 bird flu outbreaks which have infected 5,000 chickens.

The district's Agricultural Technique Center confirmed that all of the ill-fated chickens in a commune of Tien Phuoc district have been cordoned, as at least 10,000 doses of bird flu vaccines are being given to fowls in the commune.

In January, Vietnam registered one H5N6 epidemic in northern Quang Ninh province, and one H5N1 bird flu outbreak in southern Long An province.

The country has recorded no fresh human cases of H5N1 infection since 2014, according to its Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. €ƒ
