Kathmandu Valley is experiencing a significant outbreak of avian influenza, prompting swift action from Nepal’s Department of Livestock Services. Four rapid response teams have been dispatched to farms across Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur to cull infected chickens and ducks. The outbreak involves the H5N1 virus strain. Authorities are working to contain the spread and prevent further losses within the poultry industry. Reports indicate multiple locations are affected throughout the valley. This intervention aims to minimize economic impact and potential public health risks associated with the virus. The culling operation is currently underway across all three districts.
