Epidemiological comments | Between 7 and 9 June 2009, two workers of the farm showed flu signs, but they did not consult a doctor nor made diagnostic tests. The farm has its own restocking system. The last entry of animals occurred in July 2008. The farm applies biosecurity measures and the animals only leave the farm for slaughter. Since 24 June 2009, no clinical signs have been observed in the animals of that establishment. |
