Udi Ashash talks about biosecurity and prevention of avian influenza

I have already discussed in above comment for all type of AI.

Thank You, I think Bio security is first line of defense as once the hit some area they have to maintain very high level of Bio-security round the year.As once you control the disease it does not mean that you are safe for ever.The virus is very dangerous it can survive in old liter,wild birds,pets,because 4'' under the liter it replicate very fast & have a stress of any kind take opportunity to become very virulent any time.So it is essential to maintain disinfection of farm very regularly without thinking disease is over & you will stop it.My dear it is very regular program to continue& please always keep in mind that Bio- security is first line of defense as the comprehensive vaccination is 2nd line of defense alone vaccination can not do any thing with out Bio Security ,than you can over come the problem which I have learnt with my own field experience. GOD Bless you all brothers.

Prevention of AI is only possible with strict and continuous biosecurity measures because most of the farms whenever their flock is affected with AI then they use disinfectants vigorously and once disease is subsided then they stop using, Most of the brolier flocks are being not vaccinated with AI vaccine or not much biosecurity measures are following,so virus can survive and spread through backyard poultry,wild birds,dogs,flies,vehicles etc like this there are many vectors which will transmit the AI, So strict biosecurity combined with suitable vaccines can reduce the incidences and transmit the disease some extent,but complete eradication is highly impossible in this juncture,because there are multiple oppurtunies for virus has got to survive ...

Need to know what herbs are used to control AI from Nigeria's folk medicine and it will be helpful to develop remedy for AI

Hello Mr Ayyangar, do you have any herbal remedies to suggest? I know in countries like Nigeria folk medicines are used in backyard poultry farms. But my understanding is that this Forum is about prevention and control of Avian Influenza in large-scale industrial poultry farms. Surely bosses of these farms are not going to gamble their huge investment on scientifically unproven folk medicines? DR HO BVSc (Q'ld) DVPH (Massey) MRCVS Singapore

Alpha monolaurin is suitable solution to prevent and control AI. Fra C12 contains alpha monolaurin.
