BANKE, FEB 15 - Import of bird and poultry has been banned following the death of chickens at Phattepur VDC in Banke.
The District Livestock Office, Banke, said an unidentified disease seen at a poultry firm killed more than 500 chickens, prompting authorities to impose ban on bird and poultry import.
The temporary ban was necessary as we are trying to identify the disease, said Janak Ram Bhandari, veterinarian at the livestock office.
He said the dead chickens have been sent to Kathmandu for test, adding that they are adopting precautionary measure to control the disease from spreading.
Locals suspect the disease entered the VDC from Rupedia, a neighbouring Indian city.
