The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says that “the ongoing delay” in taking out the piles of ostrich in a south -east BC farm “presents the potential animal and human health risks.”
The agency said in a statement that it would continue feeding birds under the veterinary oversight, and it would use the feed provided by regular suppliers of Universal Austrich forms.
The statement stated that it has been determined that Edguds are between 300 and 330 ostrich on the farm in BC, working on determining more accurate counts.
The agency also said that it has identified a ostrich on a “compromised health” to a ostrich, but did not say what is wrong with the bird.
The birds on the farm have been temporarily repeated by the Supreme Court of Canada after staying in the last minute of the pen earlier this week.
Kalam was ordered after the outbreak of avian flu in the farm, but the owners of the farm have challenged the move that birds rescue birds are healthy and scientifically valuable.
The CFIA stated that after the confirmation of the outbreak, a laboratory in Vinypeg separated the virus and completed the entire genome sequencing.
It states that the virus is a “novel revaluation” that has not been seen anywhere else in Canada, including a genotype that is associated with a human infection in a poultry worker in Ohio.
“Laboratory Analysis also found that this novel revaluation incident has increased the pathogen of this special H5N1 genotype,” the statement said.
“Even the minimum volume of the virus can be fatal, even rapidly for death of 4-5 days in mice coming in contact with low doses. Comparatively, B3.13 genotypes (a USA dairy cow produced) resulted in death rate within 3-6 days, but only high doses.”
