(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yoon-gu = The Central Response Headquarters for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) announced on the 10th that HPAI antigens were confirmed at a broiler farm (housing approximately 19,000 birds) in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.
This is the third case of HPAI in poultry farms during the 2025-2026 winter season. Previously, HPAI was detected at a native chicken farm in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, and a duck farm in Gwangju.
The Central Response Headquarters is implementing quarantine measures at the farm, including access control, culling, and epidemiological investigations.
The Central Response Headquarters will strengthen precise testing and quarantine inspections. Notably, from the 11th to the 21st, the Quarantine Headquarters and local governments will conduct special quarantine inspections at all broiler farms nationwide.
They will also inspect the quarantine management status of concentrated laying hen farms and plan to minimize the movement of livestock vehicles between concentrated farms and large-scale laying hen farms.
Additionally, they plan to conduct daily disinfection of poultry farms, livestock facilities, and vehicles until the 21st.
The Director of the Mobile Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fisheries Policy emphasized, "Given that numerous poultry farms, including laying hen farms, are located within a 10-kilometer radius of the affected farm, please thoroughly implement quarantine measures such as movement restrictions, disinfection, and inspections."
He further stressed, "With the increase in the detection of HPAI in wild birds domestically and the expected arrival of winter migratory birds, please be vigilant and ensure that farm disinfection, vehicle and personnel access control, and other quarantine measures are fully implemented."
