Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been raging at poultry farms and facilities across Japan this season, with both the number of outbreaks and that of culled birds increasing at a record pace since late October. | asianewsnetwork
Ibaraki is the nation’s largest producer of hens’ eggs. On Nov. 4, an outbreak of bird flu occurred at a poultry farm in Kasumigaura in the prefecture. It took 19 days to kill 1.03 million egg-laying hens, bury and incinerate them, and disinfect the facilities.
On Dec. 30, new outbreaks were detected in Saitama and Hiroshima prefectures, bringing the total number to 51 outbreaks in 22 prefectures as of the day. The outbreaks in Yamagata, Fukushima, Tottori, Nagasaki, and Okinawa were the first ever recorded in those prefectures. Outbreak season in Japan is therefore from late fall to spring. In Europe, however, outbreaks continued this summer, though not in large numbers, and there is no “off-season” anymore. In France, as many as 1,487 bird flu outbreaks were recorded at poultry farms in the slightly more than a year from October 2021.
