With a long delay, just 2 weeks after the enigmatic death of thousands of chickens began, the Ministry of Agriculture confirmed the first case of H5N8 bird flu.
But the circulation of the bird virus in the poultry breeding establishments was kept secret by the Ministry of Agriculture and why even today they do not reveal the names of the companies?
The Deputy Minister of Agriculture says that the samples have been analyzed since March 7, when they were informed that there were deaths, but not why they were declared laryngotracheitis only after 9 days, on March 16. Nor were the health authorities notified who should conduct epidemiological surveillance as in any case for infectious diseases, violating protocols.
Veterinary experts outside the Ministry of Agriculture confirm that the health risk is minimal.
But the Ministry of Agriculture still seems to have a problem keeping the situation under control. Top Channel learned that for two weeks there have been deaths of chickens and to villagers raising them in the yard. The virus is spread by wild birds and was recently detected in two neighboring countries in Macedonia and Greece. The Deputy Minister of Agriculture asks the local authorities not to allow the sale of live chickens in the markets.
According to Ermira Gjeci, the consumer should buy chicken meat and other by-products in supermarkets or checkpoints. But from our observations, poultry by-products from these companies are on sale in all supermarkets.
