Al-Marj – Marwan Al-Asbali is the head of the Veterinarians Syndicate in Al-Marj. He warned about inspection committees moving between poultry farms. They often fail to strictly adhere to biosecurity measures. This could spread epidemics instead of containing them. Al-Asbali explained that field teams entering coops with unsterilized clothing and shoes pose a significant risk. They can transmit viruses. These include Newcastle disease, bird flu, and infectious bronchitis (IB).
Viruses can spread from infected farms to healthy ones. He emphasized the importance of using protective clothing and sterilization methods. He urged relevant authorities to ensure compliance. Staff should wear disposable protective suits. They must change shoe covers. Sterilization dips are essential. Vehicle tires and equipment also need sterilization before moving between sites. He affirmed that protecting animal wealth starts with simple but crucial measures.
