No outbreaks of bird flu among poultry have been reported in China for 127 straight days since Sept. 20 last year, said Minister of Agriculture Sun Zhengcai in Beijing on Sunday.
The record should be ascribed to the efforts the government and agricultural departments had made to prevent epidemics among animals, Sun said.
China used 10.6 million avian flu vaccines and 1.43 billion mouth-and-foot disease vaccines to immunize poultry and domestic animals last year. The vaccinated poultry and domestic animals accounted for more than 95 percent of the total numbers in the country, according to Sun.
Veterinary departments also intensified monitoring, Sun said. Last year,they tested 6.77 million bird flu and 1.21 million mouth-and-foot samples.
Monitoring was also stressed in border areas to prevent the transfer of bird flu into China from neighboring countries and regions.
