In the territory of the Ternopol area about 5,7 million poultry which hold in a private sector are. This bird, the experts argue, more than everyone another is unprotected from threat of bird flu. And therefore sale of carcasses of house hens in the area markets sharply decreased.
Advantage is provided to "factory" hens
Ternopoltsa surprisingly seriously treated threat of distribution of bird flu. With the first disturbing signals of mass media, in the area markets volumes of sale of a bird at once decreased. Private offtakers in outlets complain that, despite reduction of the cost of hens for 5-7 hryvnias for a carcass, citizens buy poultry ever less, preferring the certificated factory. And in regional inspectorate for control of the prices fixed that for October-November chicken meat fell in price for 3-5 %.
The most dangerous ternopolets consider chicken carcasses and shins which are on sale on street grills trays. According to consumers, in such points nobody can confirm that for preparation imported hens were taken "local", instead of. Then the order of foods from chicken meat in establishments of a food which forced owners of bars and restaurants to reduce the price for such meat decreased.
Bird flu still isn’t present, but counteraction to it already began
Though on Ternopolshchin any case of bird flu, nevertheless probability of emergence of this disease wasn’t registered yet remains quite high. The head of board of JSC Ptitsefabrika Ternopolskaya Roman Zastavny, for example, argues that on markets it is possible to "encounter" illicit chicken meat easily.
- Big parties of foreign chicken meat regularly bring on Ternopolshchina, but pravookhoranitel and customs officers close on it eyes – he argues.
Having really estimated threat, the regional power addressed to preventive actions. The special commission was created. Members it first of all defined the main directions of counteraction to distribution of bird flu in other regions of Ukraine in case the disease there is revealed, on entrances to Ternopolshchina special which posts of a task will be established – to pass transit motor transport through special disinfection points. The commission turned special attention on prevention of trade in a bird in the spontaneous markets. It combat in all territory of area, involving sanepidemstantsiya divisions. Separate control is adjusted and in the markets where cases of realization of chicken meat without any documents which confirm its origin took place. After all there is a high probability of that this meat was brought smuggling from those countries where the disease is already revealed by bird flu.
As the regional state administration press service reported, recently in Ternopol conduct work and on creation of the preventive center where the specialized laboratory will operate, and all medical workers will pass special instructing. Thus, experts of area will meet possible threat of bird flu fully equipped.

Before enterprise gate each of participants of a press tour signed the document, having confirmed with that that had no contacts to a house bird. Having dressed boot covers, white dressing gowns and masks respirators, guests passed on a disinfection mat with formalin. All these actions, according to the head of an integrated poultry farm Roman Zastavnogo, are used at the enterprise constantly if only to prevent distribution of any diseases among a bird. Now to the mentioned complex it was added also a severe throughput mode which provides restriction of penetration on the territory of production of extraneous persons.
