Poultry Producer Survey: Gathering Evidence for a Transitional Strategy (GETS) for HPAI H5N1 vaccination in Vietnam

Year of publication 2010

Product type Book (stand-alone)

Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Gathering Evidence for a Transitional Strategy (GETS) implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with financial assistance from USAID is to provide field data by testing a number of alternative strategies including differing vaccination strategies and the complimentary strategy of improved surveillance. The purpose of the GETS project is to assist the Government of Vietnam in transitioning from the current national, mass vaccination of poultry to more cost-e ffective and targeted measures for sustained control of HPAI. This survey is a part of one of the multidisciplinary approaches of GETS - the Sociological Behaviour Component. The survey objectives are threefold: • To understand the reaction and possible acceptance of a change in vaccine strategy. • To understand how farmers use and integrate vaccination into their farming strategy and how this can change as well as the implication of it. • To monitor farmers’ perception and behavior change .

    There is considerable global concern over the newly emergent H5N1 strain of avian influenza that has affected millions of domestic poultry flocks and resulted in 256 human cases and 152 deaths in humans. There has been little analysis of the general assumption that smallholder backyard poultry flocks are inherently at higher risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) than confined and commercial scale operations. We utilized data from Thailand, collected in 2004, to test the relative risks of HPAI infection in poultry flocks, by species, type of operation, and geographic location. The results indicate that backyard flocks are at significantly lower risk of HPAI infection compared to commercial scale operations of broiler or layer chickens or quail. These results are plausible in terms of the opportunities for breach of bio-security in commercial scale operations.

    N.B. This list is to provide information on vaccine manufacturers and suppliers. The manufacturers and their vaccines are not necessarily endorsed by FAO and it is the country’s responsibility that independent quality assurance/quality control for safety, purity, potency, and efficacy parameters be established.
