Descripción
This guide has been developed to ensure that adequate information is available for poultry smallholders in South East Asia for them to better prevent and control Avian Flu. The information is specifically intended to backyard and small-scale poultry production units. The guide therefore emphasizes on simple and inexpensive measures for disease prevention and control. However, this guide cannot be made available to the millions of poultry smallholders in the near future. It has therefore be dec ided to combine in this guide both information for poultry owners and information for veterinary paraprofessionals (“paravets”), and to distribute this guide to paravets, since they represent the major provider of animal health service to livestock smallholders, and therefore can better spread the message. Ideally this guide should be distributed by the staff of the District Veterinary Office (DVO) during a meeting gathering all paravets from the villages / communes of the district. This meetin g should be the occasion to discuss the contents of the guide, so that when Avian Flu is suspected in the district or nearby, both paravets and DVO have already discussed the issues.
