Island-Wide Chicken Vaccination Programme
The Agriculture and Natural Resources Division (ANRD) would like to advise the public that there have been 3 further outbreaks of Newcastle Disease in chickens, in and around the New Ground area.
All live chickens in the affected area have been culled and quarantine conditions established for the associated poultry units.
To help stop the spread of the disease ANRD will from Monday, 6 October 2014 commence an Island-Wide Vaccination Programme to run over the coming weeks.
The programme will begin in St Paul’s and Half Tree Hollow and extend to other districts when these two districts are completed and vaccine supplies become available to ANRD.
The success of the programme is dependent on the support of poultry keepers who are urged to follow the simple measures provided in the attached information sheet.
ANRD will be promoting the vaccination programme via the radio over the coming week.
