Answer 1

Preventing disease is the best way to keep your flock healthy:

• Separate your flock from disease sources including wildlife and wild birds.
• Keep your poultry area and equipment clean.
• Separate new or returning birds from your flock for at least 30 days.
• Don't share equipment with neighbours.

Step-by-step explanation:

• When bird flu struck the market, the sale of chicken has gone down by at least 25%.
• Health officials recommend the use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or, if oseltamivir can't be used, zanamivir (Relenza). These drugs must be taken within two days after the appearance of symptoms.

Infected birds may show one or many of these signs:

• Lack of energy, movement or appetite.
• Decreased egg production.
• Swelling around the head, neck and eyes.
• Coughing, gasping for air or sneezing.
• Nervous signs, tremors or lack of coordination.
• Diarrhoea.
• Sudden death.
