Navapur area of India hit hard by bird flu

A. Ashraf Ali reports:
Maharashtra’s avian influenza containment drive in Navapur area of Nandurbar district has widened to nearly 200,000 layers across 14 commercial farms. The operation has dealt another blow to one of western India’s largest egg-producing belts, where farmers are still recovering from earlier outbreaks.

Navapur accounts for 27 of Nandurbar’s 38 commercial farms and produces about 1.2 million eggs daily for markets in Maharashtra, Gujarat and neighboring states. That concentration has made containment especially difficult. Feed trucks, egg pickup vehicles, labor crews and service teams move through the same corridor daily, leaving little separation between farms. Officials warn that lapses in sanitation or worker hygiene can spread infection quickly once it enters the area.
