BFC capability
Bird Flu Control Gmbh specializes in measures for the prevention and control of Avian Influenza (AI)
We started our formal activities at the beginning of 2006 as an organisation that brings together experience and expertise of animal disease control and puts it into practice.
The experts and consultants who are employed and retained by BFC have many years of experience and are active in responding to the recent outbreaks of HPAI in Europe Asia, and Africa.
BFC services include consulting and training in contingency planning for disease outbreaks at all levels of government and private enterprise.
From working at a national policy level with National Veterinary Services, to advising on disease control operations at a village level, BFC takes an active approach by developing practical procedures and solutions. We have learned from our active involvement in outbreak management, that if you want to break the chain of an outbreak quickly, you need a well equipped, well trained and fully prepared multi-disciplinary team.
BFC's contribution to Contingency Planning for Disease Control
As an integral part of national HPAI outbreak contingency plans, response management focuses on the tasks that need to be organized at a local or regional level to get an outbreak of HPAI in poultry under control within the first 48 hours after confirmation.
If this can be achieved, the likelihood of spread and thus a major outbreak or, of the disease becoming endemic in a country is significantly reduced. Human infections are more likely to occur in countries where HPAI has become endemic in poultry. The more opportunities the virus has to reproduce in birds and people, the more likely it is to evolve into a virus that can spread easily between people and then cause a human pandemic.
