In the United States, poultry vaccination will focus on egg chickens, unlike broiler chickens that grow for meat. During the current occurrence, more than 77 % of the domestic poultry was a hens that produce commercial eggs. In the USDA press release, Rollins said the institution is considering a “objective and thoughtful strategy” for vaccination.
However, the broiler chicken industry is worried that even vaccinations of chickens will harm the United States. Ashley Peterson, the vice president of science and regulatory director of National Chicken Council, says the US is likely to ban poultry products only if the US places chickens. “When you move with a vaccine, you are essentially saying that the virus is unique and this is a way we will cope with it,” she says. “We prefer to not cope with the virus. We prefer to remove it completely. ”
The organization supports the biological security of farm farms, such as supporting the current policy of destroying the current flock of the USDA, isolating the newly acquired animals, wearing protective blessings in poultry houses, disinfecting shoes before entering the animal area, and cleaning farm equipment.
However, Carol Cardona, a bird -based health professor at the University of Minnesota, says it is unlikely that biopsy is unlikely to remove bird flu. “Farmers are already tired of living security because they are already doing everything they can. “If there is no detailed information about how birds are infected, it is very difficult to target biological security correctly.”
Viruses can be carried inside and outside poultry bars with shoes, clothes and equipment from poultry barn. Mice, rats and other small mammals can also carry viruses.
Cardona said that the current disease is so widespread that one or more strategies will be needed to reduce the onset. “We have been fighting this back behind our back with one hand, and I think there are other tools,” she says. “We must create a new way to prevent it, and some of them will include vaccinations.”
Even if vaccination does not always prevent infection, Lorenzoni still says it will still help to reduce the amount of viruses circulating in the environment.
And the interruption of trade can be simple. Rollins said USDA will work with a trading partner to limit the impact on the sales market in potential vaccination. Lorenzoni says there will be pressure from other markets to keep the poultry international exchange. “It is the benefit of everyone to move as soon as possible with these commercial contracts,” he says.
