Two more birds die from bird flu

Climate Action Catalonia has intensified controls and investigations of sick and dead poultry in their natural environment in the Ebre region to prevent new bird flu outbreaks.

The goal is to quickly isolate them and analyze whether they are virus-infected animals.

This makes it possible to “detect” any foci “quickerly” and also to identify diseased animals that “in other circumstances” might not have been analyzed, despite the fact that most of the time, after analysis by the laboratory veterinarian as Gomer According to Stanley, the Spanish government has taken a negative attitude. “What has to be done now is to analyze every suspicious animal,” he insisted.

Gomez recalled that the department embraced the quarantine protocol well. “It’s the same thing that we’ve been doing over the winter in a more surgical way. We’re back in winter mode, and all the farms already know exactly how to operate, they’re ready,” he said.
