The Department of Animal Husbandry, on Friday, took up sanitation measures at Dasarahalli where one country chicken tested positive for the H5 strain of avian flu.
Senior officials told The Hindu that personnel have been spraying sodium hypochlorite in a one-km radius of the shop. This will continue on Saturday. Cages in poultry shops will be torched with a flame gun.
“After the sanitation is completed, we will begin collection of the post-op samples for another round of testing,” said officials.
