On the 1st, Gijang-gun announced that it established a quarantine countermeasures headquarters on November 30 and is making every effort to block livestock infectious diseases within the jurisdiction.
Currently, Gijang-gun is raising about 9,100 chickens and 400 ducks across 101 farms. Of these, more than half, approximately 5,000 chickens, are located in Jangan-eup.
Starting December 3, to block disease inflow caused by vehicles entering livestock facilities, three additional movement control posts will be installed in Myeongnye-ri, Jangan-eup; Wolpyeong-ri, Jeonggwan-eup; and Anpyeong-ri, Cheolma-myeon.
Gijang-gun plans to focus all efforts on preventing the spread of AI through movement control and disinfection, in close cooperation with related organizations.
Emergency distribution of slaked lime and disinfectants will be provided to poultry farms to support self-quarantine activities at the farm level.
Inspections will be strengthened for poultry traders, holding yards, and poultry farms, and compliance with quarantine rules will also be checked.
