Antique has not been infected with avian flu.

According to the results of blood samples sent to the Department of Agriculture (DA) central office for testing, the province of Antique is still free of the avian flu virus as of Monday.

The results of 72 blood samples from ducks and poultry were released by the DA central office on May 27, according to Dr. Marco Rafael Ardamil, head of the Antique Provincial Veterinary (ProVet) Office.

“The ducks and poultry in the province, particularly in the municipality of Sibalom, are still clear of bird flu, based on laboratory data,” he stated in an interview.

On April 18 to 20, the DA Regional Field Office 6 Regulatory Division and ProVet workers collected samples from Sibalom, which has the most poultry and cattle animals in the province.

Despite the negative status, the province has imposed a temporary restriction on the importation of all live domestic and wild birds, poultry goods and by-products, including meat, sperm, and dung, from all regions.

On the suggestion of ProVet, Governor Rhodora Cadiao issued Executive Order (EO) Number 58 on May 16, which extended the ban that was previously issued as EO 23 on March 16.

“Veterinary quarantine personnel assigned at points of entry, provincial borders, and ports are hereby authorized to conduct regular inspections of incoming passengers, vehicles, poultry, poultry products, and by-products, and to deny entry or order’return to origin’ on banned products, confiscate or condemn the same if the shipper or owner fails to ship back such products,” according to EO 58.

Ardamil stated that no forbidden products have been confiscated in the municipalities of Libertad and Pandan in the north, and Hamtic and Anini-y in the south, since the twin directives were implemented.
