After culling of ducks and chickens in Kerala, the Haryana government has decided to cull poultry birds in Barwala after some of them tested positive for the avian influenza.
A look at how poultry animals are culled:
Mass slaughter of domestic poultry birds, such as chickens and ducks, to contain the spread of bird flu is called culling.
During culling operations, all domestic birds in an infected area, i.e., an area in which a case of bird flu has been detected and slaughtered. The bird carcasses are either burnt/incinerated or buried in deep pits which are then covered with layers of lime.
Why are only poultry birds culled?
Though wild and other birds may also carry the bird flu, only domestic poultry birds are culled since they are present in close proximity with people, raising the chances of transmission of the virus to humans.
