[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] On the 11th, ducks raised at a breeding duck farm in Jangseong, Jeonnam, were confirmed to have highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI).

The Central Avian Influenza Countermeasures Headquarters stated that the day before, they received a suspicious report from the farm about a decrease in egg-laying rate. A rapid test conducted by the Jeonnam Animal Hygiene Laboratory confirmed a positive result, and a detailed examination on the same day ultimately confirmed the highly pathogenic diagnosis.

The farm raises approximately 8,000 breeding ducks.
