No bird flu outbreaks among poultry reported in China for 127 days
BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- No outbreaks of bird flu among
poultry have been reported in China for 127 straight days since Sept.
20 last year, said Minister of Agriculture Sun Zhengcai in Beijing on
Sunday.
The record should be ascribed to the efforts the government and
agricultural departments had made to prevent epidemics among animals,
Sun said.
China used 10.6 million avian flu vaccines and 1.43 billion mouth-
and-foot disease vaccines to immunize poultry and domestic animals
last year. The vaccinated poultry and domestic animals accounted for
more than 95 percent of the total numbers in the country, according
to Sun.
