Mysuru: District Collector Rohini Sindhuri informed that the district administration at the Bodhi check post in the Kote taluk of Mysuru-Kerala Border blocked the entry of poultry from Kerala following the bird flu outbreak in the state.
Sindhuri directed in a notice that chickens, wild birds, pet birds and migratory birds should be notified with the authorities before transportation and immigration. The Department of Animal Husbandry should immediately be informed if any birds have unnatural symptoms or unnatural deaths.
“Officials of the department have been closely monitored and informed about the risk of avian influenza in the laboratory,” she added.
The directions comes after avian flu took lives of thousands of ducks in Kerala. Both the state governments — Kerala and Karnataka — have been on alert since then.
Several steps have been taken to sanitise the vehicles coming from Kerala to Karnataka to avoid any kind of disease spread. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medical Services has increased security at the border check posts.
