    Recently, many countries around the world have sounded the alarm of the avian flu outbreak.
    2nd, a chicken farm in Ikea Prefecture, Japan's largest egg-producing region, detected a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, so far, Japan's avian flu outbreak has spread to 17 first-level administrative regions.

    not far from the site is Idzcheng County's largest egg and chicken farm, which is also the site of the bird flu outbreak.
    three days ago, more than 200 chickens were found dead here, and tests confirmed that the H5 subtype was caused by the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus.

    the outbreak was detected, Idzcheng Prefecture immediately decided to cull 840,000 chickens from the chicken farm.
    now have thousands of staff working around the clock in the area, but the cull is expected to continue until the 14th of this month because of the large number.
    In addition, Ikea Prefecture also requires all poultry and poultry egg products within a radius of 3 km of the incident chicken farm to be prohibited from entering and leaving, within 10 km to stop shipping, and requires all areas of the chicken farm, reservoir surrounding roads and traffic vehicles thoroughly disinfected.
    since the discovery of bird flu in Japan nearly three years ago in early November, the outbreak has spread rapidly to 17 counties, accounting for about a third of japan's first-tier administrative regions, the most widespread on record.
    , the cumulative number of culls has reached 7.11 million, also a record high.
    , Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Foreculture and Aquaculture said that most of the outbreak of chicken farms have epidemic prevention loopholes, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the next will not comply with health management standards of farmers public warning.
    prefecture, which is close to Japan's capital, is the largest egg-producing country, accounting for nearly 10% of Japan's annual output.
    bird flu outbreak is now a direct threat to the heart of Japan's egg industry.
    the current wholesale price of eggs in tokyo has risen by about 30% since early January.
    further spread of bird flu in its main production area is likely to lead to a further rise in egg prices in Japan, which in turn will affect the Japanese people's food basket.
